Dak Prescott is set to become an unrestricted free agent following the upcoming season if he and the Dallas Cowboys are unable to reach an agreement on a new contract before then. It’s a tricky situation, and Prescott opened up about it this week.
During a charity event this week, Dak Prescott spoke to the media briefly about his current contract situation where he gave his thoughts on what he is seeking from the Cowboys.
“I’m not trying to be the highest-paid, necessarily. We’ll wait until negotiations begin, and obviously want to put this team in the best situation,” Prescott said.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott said contract extension negotiations have not begun. But he met with team owner Jerry Jones a few weeks ago to discuss situation.

Still, Prescott made it very clear that if he can’t work things out with the Cowboys, he is not afraid to potentially sign with another team this offseason.

“I don’t fear either situation, to be candid with you,” Prescott said. “I love this game and love to play and love to better myself as a player, and my teammates around me. Right now it’s with the Dallas Cowboys. It’s where I want to be and it’s where I am and it’s the focus. After the season, we’ll see where we’re at. If the future holds that, yeah, and if not, we’ll go from there.”
It will certainly be interesting to see what happens in this situation.
