FRISCO – Quarterback Dak Prescott knows his way around the Jerry Jones negotiating table at\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0headquarters. …<\/p>\n
And he’s won every time he’s pulled up a chair.<\/p>\n
Prescott, once upon a time a lowly former fourth-round pick was franchise-tagged twice before signing his second\u00a0NFL\u00a0contract, then cashing in on a four-year, $160 million deal in 2021.<\/p>\n
And last year? As he became a perennial\u00a0Pro Bowler while leading the NFL with 36 touchdown passes in 2023 and finishing as the league’s MVP runner-up, Prescott won again, leveraging his way to a four-yyer, $240 million extension.<\/p>\n
What’s next for Prescott? Jerry Jones probably touches his wallet and thanks God it’s not another contract negotiation.<\/p>\n
No, instead it’s Dak looking on as\u00a0Cowboys\u00a0teammate and three-time All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons works to follow in the QB’s high-dollar footsteps.<\/p>\n
Micah isn’t holdout out. He’s not griping. He’s practicing and he’s visiting with Jerry and he’s instructing the Cowboys to cll his agent …<\/p>\n
And it is a virtual certainty now that he’s destined, in the coming weeks, to become the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history at over $40 million per year.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Dak is a believer – in Micah and in Jerry.<\/p>\n
“Yeah,” Prescott said, “we’re all very confident that Micah’s going to get this deal done. It starts with Micah and Jerry and I think they’ve both alluded to that. Obviously it’s a situation and position that I’ve been in a couple times.<\/p>\n
He understands the wait and just doing everything in between there the right way.”<\/p>\n
Not everybody understands “The Jerry Way,” which is often about foot-dragging in these matters. But yes, it is helpful to know one’s way around the Cowboys negotiating table … where Dak has been a market-setting winner and where Micah is about to follow suit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
