The Dallas Cowboys may be entering their final season with Dak Prescott as the team’s franchise QB.So far, Jerry Jones has made it clear he plans to let Prescott play out the final year of his current contract which leaves the team strapped when it comes to paying other talent as so much of this year’s salary cap money is going to the Dallas signal caller.Many believed it would be a no-brainer decision to extend Prescott this offseason so the Cowboys would be able to free up room and fill voids on the roster that will help them make a legitimate Super Bowl run.
Jerry Jones has never parted ways with a franchise-level quarterback in his prime during his near-40-year run as the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. Troy Aikman stayed here until he retired, and Tony Romo was only released because Prescott emerged as the new franchise sta QB during his injury absence.Prescott has lacked postseason success (a 2-5 record) up to this point of his career, but teams will be more than happy to pay top dollar for a QB who puts up top-10 stats annually.While the recent narrative has been that both Jones and Prescott are prepared to let the final year of the deal play out and go from there, ESPN Insider Jeremy Fowler says the Cowboys do in fact want to extend their franchise QB but have been hesitant because of a very specific reason.
