The Cowboys quarterback, Dak Prescott, is in the final year of his current contract and will become a free agent after the 2024–25 season.
Although the deadline is drawing near, the organization has not moved quickly to lock down Prescott’s future with the team.
In a recent interview, Prescott confirmed that talks between his agent and the Cowboys are ongoing, though no agreement appears imminent. Team owner Jerry Jones hinted that a new contract might not be finalized before the season begins.
In an interview, Jones said, “We’re still talking, but right now we’re in the season, so our focus is on practicing and getting ready.” “The existing contract allows us to operate effectively, and while contract talks may still occur, our primary goal is to ensure that both the team and player are ready to perform at their best.”
The Cowboys appear willing to let negotiations to stretch into the season if needed, despite their obvious awareness of how important it is to keep their franchise quarterback, Dak Prescott.
The organization seems to be striking a balance between the requirement to maintain its top player under contract and the necessity for financial prudence.
