Dak Prescott’s contract extension saga continues to roll on during the offseason and the number that he could be eyeing up in free agency could make Jerry Jones light-headed.

Jerry Jones has been unmoved during the contractual battleground with various key players and his methods are continuing to get more costly.

Dak Prescott has been present at the team OTAs and is still bargaining for a new contract with the Cowboys.

However, the leverage in his current contract has cornered the franchise and he knows that he could be all set to smash the QB market into pieces with his deal.

Dak Prescott will be comfortable entering a contract year after having all the leverage

He is set to enter his contract year of the deal he signed back in 2021 which has gifted him the chance to demand a top-of-the-market figure.

Despite underwhelming playoff success, the Cowboys must pay the three-time Pro Bowler to restrict him from entertaining free agency in 2025.

Moreover, the Cowboys could be reluctant to match the contracts other franchises could propose if he hits the open market.

Prescott has explained how he is not interested in becoming the highest-paid QB and is not money-orientated.

Nonetheless, he will be fully aware of the magnitude of the potential contract he could land with the Cowboys or somewhere else.

It is unheard of that an MVP runner-up has not been signed to a new extension and franchise quarterbacks rarely, of this stature, hit free agency.

NFL experts anticipate a record-breaking deal with Prescott in 2025 free agency

On Yahoo Sports, Charles McDonald and Kevin Clark spoke about the impending situation that is simmering but could boil over in the coming months.

The two presenters believe that Prescott’s numbers on a future contract would be alarming.

“These guys (franchise QBs) never hit the open market and if Dak Prescott actually walked into free agency people would be appalled by the final contract figure that he could get,” McDonald said on the podcast.

“Teams are actually bidding against each other, instead of just working in the construct of a CBA that lets them have control of guys for a long time.”

Prescott’s current contract has put him in a pole position to demand $60 million APY

Dak Prescott has no restrictions, such as a trade or tag clause, that can stop him from testing free agency.

Furthermore, the 30-year-old will be the biggest prize up for grabs next year and numerous teams will be circling in 2025.

Franchises will be battling each other to land his signature and the demand will only increase the price.

Ultimately, there have been strong indications that Prescott could be the first player to breach the $60 million APY ceiling.
