There’s no money like contract money if you’re considered a franchise player for an NFL team.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott wants his money despite recovering from a right ankle injury.
“The goal here is still to get him signed to a long-term deal, and why would they continue using these costly tags on him if they didn’t feel he was their franchise guy? By the way, last year’s money was in the ballpark of Russell Wilson/Jared Goff-type money,” Slater said on The Dan Patrick Show. “Now he’s looking to be paid right behind Patrick Mahomes, a guy who’s gone to the Super Bowl two years in a row and Dak hasn’t done that yet. They feel like it’s been a respectable offer.”
Prescott believes he can carry the franchise but his health reflects the type of lucrative contract offered if the Cowboys want to keep him around.
