Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys contract negotiations hold up revealed
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys are running out of time to reach an agreement on a new deal before the 2024 NFL season.
The two sides have reportedly been engaged in discussions, but the clock is ticking for a deal to get done if Jerry Jones and company want the star quarterback to avoid hitting free agency in 2025.
As negotiations continue, we are learning what the hold up is with the contract discussions.
According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic on her Scoop City podcast, the discussions are being held up due to the length of a potential deal.
“The holdup at this point from what I understand is about the years the Dallas Cowboys are willing to commit to,” she said during the discussion which begins at the 8:07 mark.
Prescott wants a long-term commitment from the team, while Dallas is debating if they want to keep him with the team “longer than two, three, four years.”
She continued, “He’s looking for a long-term commitment from Dallas. So the hold up here is really the belief from the Dallas Cowboys. This is a guy who’s won a lot of games. But is that enough? Winning’s not enough for Jerry Jones. We know this. They want to do more… they don’t want to just be the team that wins a lot of games. They want to be the team that can play in the Super Bowl.”
