Jones is against the ropes. When Trevor Lawrence and Jordan Love got new deals of $55 million per year with the Jaguars and the Green Bay Packers, Prescott got a massive reason to be patient.
In the NFL, a lot of teams are willing to make Dak the highest paid player in history. The quarterback put MVP numbers last season and, with the right supporting cast, he could win a Super Bowl.
