Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott expressed optimism on Thursday regarding the possibility of securing a contract extension. Prescott, who is in the final season of a $160 million, four-year deal, mentioned that positive conversations are taking place about his contract situation. He acknowledged the ongoing negotiations and expressed confidence in reaching a favorable agreement with the team.
Prescott, 31 years old, humorously mentioned that his level of awareness of the negotiations depends on the quality of the offer presented to him. Despite the business aspects involved, Prescott seems comfortable discussing his future with the Cowboys, where he has played for his entire eight-year career. He emphasized his desire to continue with the team, while acknowledging the potential for changes due to the business side of the sport.
In the previous season, Prescott demonstrated strong performance with 4,516 passing yards, 36 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. This marked the third time in his career that he achieved over 4,000 passing yards and 30 touchdowns in a season. Besides Prescott, the Cowboys are also managing another contract situation with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who is currently holding out of training camp in pursuit of a new contract. Both Prescott and Lamb have been key contributors to the team’s offensive success, combining for 30 touchdowns in the last three seasons.
Overall, Prescott’s positive outlook on the contract talks suggests a potential agreement in the works, highlighting his commitment to the Cowboys while navigating the complexities of NFL contracts.
