Is an extension for Prescott on deck?
Graziano: We shouldn't assume the Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott will agree on a contract extension before the start of the 2024 season. There are multiple reasons, but the main one is Prescott has unprecedented contract leverage and a history of not conceding easily in contract talks.

He is due to make $34 million in 2024, the final year of his contract. But his salary cap number is $59.455 million, which is astronomical and needs to come down in order for the Cowboys to do anything else. They could reduce that number by about $18 million by simply converting salary to a signing bonus and spreading out the bonus cap hit over the next three years (this year and the two void years he has in 2025 and 2026). But they would need his permission to add more void years and spread the cap hit any further -- you can spread a cap hit from a signing bonus up to five years -- and they obviously would need him to agree if they wanted to do an extension that knocks the 2024 number down even more.

That cap number incentivizes the Cowboys to do a deal, but considering there's a clause in his current deal that prohibits the team from using a franchise or transition tag on Prescott, it also means the quarterback doesn't have to do a deal if he's not completely happy with it. His worst case scenario is that he becomes a free agent next spring at age 31, which would be quite lucrative.

I think the Cowboys likely get something done extension-wise with CeeDee Lamb once the receiver market finally starts to move. And I'm sure they'll have extension talks with edge rusher Micah Parsons, though their ability to exercise his fifth-year option for 2026 gives them time to do that one. But all eyes will be on that Prescott deal, and if the last time these two sides went through this is any indication, that negotiation is not likely to be smooth sailing for Dallas.

They basically have no choice but to extend Dak. What else can they do? They can't start over. They just need to draft a QB every year and hope they hit on one like the 49ers did. That is their only choice. There are those QB hiding out there, just have to get lucky. Luck is a huge component.

They have the choice of a man in an unhappy marriage where his wife has him by the financial balls. He DOES have a choice…but it’s a painful one.  How much does your freedom and principles matter to you?
