Dak Prescott’s future is unclear and according to the quarterback, who is heading into the final season of his deal with the Dallas Cowboys, that’s fine with him.
As it looks more and more like Prescott won’t get an extension on his four-year, $160 million deal prior to the NFL season, the QB sounded OK with however it works out.
“I’m not gonna say I fear being here or not. I don’t fear either situation, to be candid with you,” Prescott told reporters Friday at a charity event. “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 that’s where I am, and that’s the focus. After this season, we’ll see where we’re at, and if the future holds that, then [great]. If not, we’ll go from there.”
His comments came as the Cowboys appear to be prepared to let him play the upcoming season without a new contract.
Prescott added he’s not looking to become the “highest paid” quarterback in football, but also implied there were no significant talks going on between his agents and the team.
“I’m focused on the moment and on the now,” Prescott said. “If the talks begin and real talks get to happen, I’m sure we can talk about getting that done.”
The 30-year-old Prescott just had one of his best regular seasons of his career, leading the NFL with 36 passing touchdowns, just nine interceptions and a career-best passer rating of 105.9.
But Prescott and Dallas’ season ended in disappointment again, as they lost a home playoff game to the Green Bay Packers, which continued the QB’s streak of not getting out of the divisional round.
He is 2-5 in the postseason for his career.
