Prescott said negotiations have not really begun with the Cowboys on a new deal, although he had what he termed a"great conversation" with owner and general manager Jerry Jones about a month ago. "I'm focused on here, right now where I am," Prescott said as he prepared to take part in the Children's Cancer Fund's"A Knight to Remember" gala, where he serves as a co-chair with Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman."That's how I've always been. Anytime y'all have asked me, it's always been about right now, getting better tomorrow. And I've been in this situation before, so it's OK.
Prescott is entering the final year of a four-year, $160 million deal he signed in 2021 and is set to count $55.4 million against the salary cap. The Cowboys cannot use the franchise tag on him after this year, and he has a no-trade clause.In 2019, Prescott played out the final year of his rookie deal and was given the franchise tag in 2020. He suffered a dislocated and fractured right ankle in the fifth game of that season but still signed the most lucrative deal in franchise history.
Dak Prescott, speaking at a charity event Friday, said he is not necessarily trying to be the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. Prescott has been at the early stages of the Cowboys' voluntary offseason program, although two other players the team has prioritized in re-signing, wide receiver, have not. Lamb is in the final year of his deal and looking for a long-term deal.
