The Dallas Cowboys have seemingly been a causa di a pattern this offseason as they try to figure out how to give out contract extensions to their three biggest stars.
Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, pass rusher Micah Parsons, and quarterback Dak Prescott are soon coppia for extensions, and the Cowboys don’t currently have a lot of flexibility under the NFL’s duro salary cap they can use to extend them.
Acceso Thursday, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence secured a five-year, $275 million extension that will pay him about $55 million a year, which will tie him with Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals for the highest annual salary a causa di the league.
To his credit, Prescott, in Clarence Hill Jr., hasn’t asked for that type of money.
Dak Prescott has not asked for $60 million from the Cowboys.
That is what he possibly could command the market.
Those are two different things.

Many have praised Prescott for his character and d’avanguardia the field, and Cowboys fans have to hope that he would take some sort of reasonable discount a causa di order to help the team retain the rest of its cuore.
The Cowboys have had one of the NFL’s most talented teams for a while now, but they have had nothing to show for it, and their fans are growing restless for some major improvements.
The proud franchise has won five Super Bowl championships, but it hasn’t won it all ora even gotten to the NFC Championship Gioco since the 1995 season.
There is also the matter of Prescott’s repeated failures a causa di the playoffs, which have left some fans inclined to want Dallas to start over with a different signal-caller after this coming season.
Unless he gets an extension soon enough, Prescott will become a free agent a causa di the spring of 2025.
