The Cowboys and their starting QB are still trying to hammer out a new deal." Dallas Cowboys GeneralDak Prescott explains his thinking on why he shouldn’t have to take a “team-friendly” dealNew Dak Prescott Jersey Stitched ,410commentsThe Cowboys and their starting QB are still trying to hammer out a new deal. CDTIt’s been a bit since we’ve heard much about the upcoming new deal for Dak Prescott. We know it’s coming, we just don’t know when or for how much. Since we’re in a short summer holiday in the NFL offseason schedule, things seem to have slowed down on the contract front. But Prescott still has some opinions on the subject and is making them known.A while back, Stephen Jones made an effort to sell Prescott, and other Cowboys stars Youth Amari Cooper Jersey , on the idea of “team-friendly” deals that don’t max out their contracts. As we noted at the time, it’s a nice sentiment but not one NFL players are likely going to take to heart. Especially a player who has been grossly underpaid so far in his NFL career. Prescott realizes that Amari Cooper and Ezekiel Elliott are also going to want top dollar, but he’s not ready to concede that anybody has to do a “team-friendly” deal. Prescott is making the point that the salary cap keeps increasing, and that there is room for the Cowboys players to get top dollar. He notes, rightly so Amari Cooper Jersey Stitched , that the top-paid player one year is usually eclipsed by someone else the next. And his point about the salary cap is valid. Over the last six years, the salary cap has increased on average $10 million a year. It’s hard to blame Prescott for seeking the biggest contract he can get, especially given how little he’s been paid so far. He has routinely been designated the biggest bargain in the league based on his salary cap number (only $2.1 million this year, and that’s the highest it’s ever been and more than he made in his first three years combined) vs. his production on the field (wins, NFC East titles Youth Demarcus Lawrence Jersey , Pro Bowls, stats, etc.). At this point, there hasn’t been much movement on a contract beyond the exchange of numbers reported earlier this offseason.We wait, but this deal will go down sometime before the season. The only thing we’re really waiting on are the numbers. Every weekday Demarcus Lawrence Jersey Stitched , we celebrate the conclusion of an episode of by almost immediately taping an episode of PFTOT. Which is precisely what we did today.After Big Cat and his not-new-jacket left the studio (and after Simms and his not-functioning-prostate returned from the restroom), Simms and I covered five topics.From considering whether Tyler Lockett and D.J. Fluker were trolling Russell Wilson to whether Wilson’s deal changes the market for Dan Prescott to whether the 49ers will take Quinnen Williams or Nick Bosa at No. 2 to whether it’s newsworthy when players don’t show up for offseason workouts to some thoughts on the Vikings’ forest-pillaging playbook, we cover things we either didn’t address during PFT Live or that we didn’t have enough time to cover.If you’ve got 15-20 minutes, you’ve got enough time to take it all in.
