Dak Prescott has stolen the headlines during the offseason as people question if he will receive an extension, but the signal-caller has a more relaxed approach to the situation.

Jerry Jones and his franchise quarterback Dak Prescott are in a contract stand-off and neither one has budged or made a meaningful approach.

The preseason preparations are underway and the Dallas Cowboys’ signal-caller has been present, despite playing into a contract year.

Dallas Cowboys are forced to juggle huge contracts and keep stars happy

Overall, the Cowboys are dealing with a backlog of contractual issues, courtesy of their approaches.

Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb also seek mega contracts, with the latter forcing a holdout from the OTAs.

America’s Team has plenty of reasons to extend Dak Prescott in the offseason and Stephen Jones has implied that they will.

However, there has been radio silence at the negotiation table. Jerry Jones could be tempted to let the 30-year-old play out his deal and force him to produce in an all-or-nothing season.

Prescott seems unfazed by the lingering situation and has been a happy camper during the voluntary workouts.

Dak Prescott holds all the leverage and was relaxed when speaking to the media

Ultimately, he understands that he holds all the leverage due to the terms of the current deal. In addition, Prescott knows that he will have plenty of franchises vying for his signature in 2025 free agency.

Therefore, he is a player who has the upper hand in the negotiation and is acting accordingly.

His relaxed approach was reinforced when he spoke to the Dallas Cowboys website.

“I don’t play for money. Never have and never cared, to be honest with you,” he explained to the media.

“I would give it up to just play this game. I’ll leave that to the business people to say what it’s worth and what they’re supposed to give a quarterback of my play, a person of my play, and a leader of my [caliber]. I’ll control what I can control, and the rest will take care of itself.”

The quarterback has been rumored to be eyeing up a potential record-breaking $60 million APY to become the most expensive player in NFL history.

Prescott is happy to leave the business side of things to his agent

Nonetheless, Prescott has stated that money is not an issue for him and he will leave that to his agent.

His agent Todd France won the negotiation in 2021 after his client was franchise-tagged for the second time in two years.

The terms of the deal have cornered the Cowboys into a vulnerable position and now they are at a dangerous crossroads.

The front office could be playing with fire and Prescott may be encouraged to look elsewhere in 2025.
