Time is running out for the Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott to agree on a contract extension with the deadline now just two days away.
On Sunday, The Dallas Morning News confirmed that the Cowboys haven’t come close to agreeing to a contract extension for the 26-year-old.
The critical sticking point in the negotiations is the length of the contract. Prescott wants a four-year deal, but the Cowboys have been pushing for five. According to CBS, there are only seven quarterbacks in the NFL with contract extensions averaging more than $30 million per year, and the average length for those contracts is 3.57 new years.
