Despite Wednesday’s deadline to sign Dak Prescott with a long-term deal, there are no scheduled talks between the Dallas Cowboys and quarterback agent Todd France, according to multiple sources.
While things can change quickly with a simple phone call, it was hoped that it would be more urgent to reach a deal that would lock Prescott in the long term and make the quarterback one of the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks.
Prescott signed the $ 31.4 million exclusive franchise tag offer on June 22, ensuring that none of the training grounds will be missed as long as it starts. Without a long-term deal by 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Prescott will have to play the season on the label and the parties cannot speak of a long-term deal again until January.
If the Cowboys re-tagged Prescott in 2021, he would earn $ 37.7 million.
The biggest obstacle in the negotiations has been the length of the contract. The Cowboys have offered Prescott five-year offers, while France has responded with four-year options.
In March, sources said the Cowboys made an offer to Prescott that averaged $ 34.5 million, which at the time was the second of Russell Wilson’s $ 35 million from the Seattle Seahawks, with a guarantee on par with $ 110. million that Jared Goff received from the Los Angeles Rams. last summer.
Last week, the Kansas City Chiefs signed Patrick Mahomes with a 12-year deal worth $ 477 million that could grow to $ 503 million.
Mahomes led the Chiefs to the AFC Championship Game in 2018, his first year as a starter, and he won the Super Bowl last season. Prescott, who had professional records in passing yards (4,902) and touchdown passes (30) last season, has a playoff victory in two postseason appearances.
