Cowboys bypass 'hurtful point' in Dak Prescott contract negotiations

It's been a rough couple of months for Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott lost his elder brother - Jace Prescott - earlier this year. The Dallas Cowboys QB was impressive for his franchise last season and was rumoured to be in talks for a potential contract extension. However, recent reports reveal that Dak Prescott and the Cowboys have not made any significant progress in the Dak Prescott contract negotiations over the last couple of months.

Dak Prescott and Dallas Cowboys cross 'hurtful point' in contract negotiations

While appearing on the radio talk show, Shan and RJ 105.3 The Fan, Charles Robinson claimed that the Cowboys and Dak Prescott have crossed a ‘hurtful point’ as contract negotiations continue to stall. Robinson added “I really don’t think they are that far apart. They are just so stubbornly dug in because of how this negotiation has gone at points. The Cowboys could not have felt more burned than they did when they went back to Dak’s camp last September (and) the number went up. And that really was a hurtful point. I think they were not only upset at Dak’s representation, I think they were a little upset at Dak. It’s business, you know. You’d be kidding yourself to sit there and think they were never mad at Zeke (Ezekiel Elliot) during that negotiation. It’s germane to the process.”

Prescott had a magnificent start to the 2019 season as he threw for nine touchdowns, had just two interceptions, and led the team to a 3-0 start. His contract demands could prove to be too much for the Cowboys who are already on a hefty wage bill. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys have until July 15, 2020, to reach a mutual agreement. If that is not achieved, then the quarterback will only be able to play for the Cowboys if he signs a one-year extension.

Prescott replaced Tony Romo in his rookie season when the Cowboys legend was out injured but quickly cemented his future at the franchise after some impressive displays. Romo then formally went on to announce his retirement in April 2017.
