¿Está aumentando el contrato de Dak Prescott de los Dallas Cowboys? Jerry Jones afirma que no está preocupado.
FRISCO – The high cost of doing business with Dak Prescott is getting higher and higher with each passing success.
And Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is ecstatic about it.
“I’m here like everybody else wanting him to be the MVP,” Jones said Wednesday at the NFL owners meetings in Dallas. “We’re trying to win the Super Bowl. Obviously we got a better chance to win it with him at QB playing at that level.
And, furthermore, in the category of “obviously” … if the QB is playing at that level, and pushes toward or even wins the MVP and then the Super Bowl?
“The better chance to win” on the field will demand “better” compensation at the negotiating table.
Most of this is unsurprising. The Cowboys long-ago made it clear at that they wanted to sign Prescott to a long-term contract extension, with a deadline of sorts being before the March 2024 start of the NFL business year.
Why then? Prescott will be heading into the final year of his four-year, $160 million deal that he signed in 2021 – a contract that at present brings with it an untenable $59 million cap hit in 2024.
It was always the plan – even in 2022, when Prescott was involved in an uncharacteristic and NFL-leading 15 interceptions – to re-do the deal so the $59 million never hit the cap.
Leaving it as is would not only make Prescott a lame-duck able to leave Dallas for nothing after 2024; it would also preclude the Cowboys from doing any real roster-building because of the cap restrictions.
El director ejecutivo Stephen Jones ha declarado recientemente: “Está bajo contrato en este momento, pero preferiríamos hacerlo después de la temporada”. Cuando termine la temporada, nos concentraremos en eso. Dak será nuestro capitán.
Actualmente, Prescott gana $40 millones al año. Es evidente que el límite máximo actual es $50 millones de ganancias por año, y una vez más, Jerry Jones no parece oponerse an ello, en parte debido a todas las ventajas que podrían surgir de los Cowboys de 10 a 3, lo que podría establecer a Dak como el jugador con el mayor salario en la historia de la NFL.
“La idea de que él no sea nuestro quarterback”, afirmó Jerry, al referirse an una extensión nueva y rica como “inevitable”, no pasó por su mente.
In the Fish Podcast and the Fish Report, we talk about that very “inevitability,” as well as what Dallas is planning to do with its two backup quarterbacks, Cooper Rush and Trey Lance.
