Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys

Dak Prescott isn’t the first quarterback in the NFL to spend his off-season at ends with his franchise in terms of a new contract.

As recent as the end of May, Prescott is targeting a four-year extension. The Dallas Cowboys are thinking more like five. Currently, the quarterback is scheduled to get $31.4 Million stemming from his being franchise tagged by the franchise.

If he has it his way, Prescott will get his new deal in the next month. It is certainly possible the deal will happen too. While the Cowboys (read: Jerry Jones) don’t have the best track record when it comes to flexing to the will of their players but Prescott certainly warrants some concessions.

What happens if the two sides don’t agree on a contract before July 15th? Well, there’s talks of holdout for sure, and where there’s a holdout there has to be trade talks.

Even if the Cowboys aren’t actively receiving offers, there has to be a point where the franchise at least internally entertains the idea.

What could they get in return? Well, it’s not likely Prescott is coming off his four-year extension demands, so that might factor in a bit when it comes to negotiating a trade.

No matter what the limitations, a team will pay high draft capital to get Prescott for four-years, and potentially longer.
