Sources: Cowboys have made only one recent offer to Dak Prescott

Multiple reports emerged on Monday that the Cowboys have submitted another offer to quarterback Dak Prescott, in addition to the recently reported offer that has an average value of $33 million per year. Multiple sources tell PFT that there has been only one offer.

The offer, per one source, was made on March 2. The Cowboys have not recently made any other offer. It’s unclear whether Prescott’s camp has responded to the offer.

The Cowboys would like to get a deal done before Thursday, the deadline for applying the franchise tag. If the Cowboys tag Prescott, a different dynamic becomes unlocked, and a new set of deadlines will become activated, from the launch of the offseason program in April to the various enhanced phases of it to the deadline for doing a longterm deal in July 15.

A deal worth $33 million per year at signing would be richer than the Russell Wilson contract, which had a value of $31.4 million at signing. But no details have been reported regarding structure or length or, most importantly, amount of the guarantees at signing.

  1. That makes sense. No way he turns it down……However, This evening we will hear another rumor. Enough……Dak or Cowboys’ camp will soon let us know.

  2. Dak is a 25 mil per year qb. TRUTH, not hating. Just FACTS. Please stop OVER PAYING average qbs. He is an 8-8 qb. With a pro bowl rb, wr, and oline. He didnt beat but ONE team with a wining record last year. He talks good in interviews but cant produce it on the field. He is limited. Keep it real. I love Dak but this FA class of QBs is deep with bus drivers and that is what Dak is. Save the money get this DEFENSE back to top 1 / 2 … get a super bowl.

    Speaking of, Get your team to THE SUPER BOWL THEN ASK FOR ELITE COIN! CRAZY THOUGHT no?

  3. Jerry just swallow your ego and let Dak go that is if you want another trip to the Super Bowl in your life time.

  4. I just don’t get it… Dak is just short of terrible and an serious underachiever. This is silly.

  5. I find it incredible that Dak is being offered more than Wilson. I’m not saying Dak isn’t a good QB, but he isn’t nearly as good as Wilson. I know the dynamics of the game and the difficulty finding a legitimate “franchise QB” come into play but I’m not convinced that Dak is worth being the highest paid player ever in the NFL.

  6. First of all he isn’t worth a penny over 27 million, and there’s no way you can compare him to Wilson with a straight face, or any face for that matter. The Cowboys need to franchise him, and then trade him if he doesn’t accept their offer on the table

  7. Oh poor poor Dak. It will be so awful for him if he only makes $33,000,000 a year instead of the $37,000,000 he wants. My heart bleeds for him. Drew Brees … there’s a new sheriff in town, and he wants your greedy title.

  8. Anything over $17M and Jerry should call it a career, he was just fleeced by a middling QB.

  9. Tag and trade Prescott. Sign Tannehill. Then you’ve got cap room for Cooper and Jones plus some nice draft picks.

  10. The fact that he didn’t sign that contract immediately after receiving it means Dak thinks he’s worth more than that. Dallas should slow play him then rescind the offer late in training camp after all the other teams have already spent their money and let Dak find a deal worth even a quarter of what Dallas offered him–which is way too much anyway.

  11. If they really did offer 33 million a year they’d be offering 30 million more than any other team annually…….

  12. I’m guessing Dak’s first comment will be something like “It was never about the money”…….
    you know that old BS line

  13. Break him off. He’s not worth that money. Give Brady two at $45 mill and call it a day. His team makes him better not Time to go. I would never let a player hold me hostage.

  14. Russel Wilson and Dak Prescott. One is a hall of famer, the other average.

    Let him walk and hamstring another team.

  15. Hes a good QB no doubt, but if you believe the team is built to win now, might want to just sign Tom Brady to a 3 year deal at 33M per. I can see anyone else paying Dak more than 25M per.

  16. The amount of prestige he gets by just being the cowboys qb that he either ignorant or just greed driven is crazy. He has three national endorsements with Dannon, Campbell’s and Sleep Number so he isn’t starving. The entire concept of I’m the next qb up pay me the most is moronic. There has to come a time where the gm checks the qb and says: “are you Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers”? Then you don’t get Wilson/Rodgers money. Win a super bowl and league mvp and we will talk. If it’s reported as true what Dallas has offered this guy and he hasn’t taken it, I’d franchise this guy and tell him to Work out a trade with someone else. It’s it worth strapping you’re team in cap hell unless your qb is a difference maker. Mahomes, Wilson, Rodgers. That’s about it.

  17. If I was Jerry I’d tell Dak here is the contract if you take it great if not we’re moving on without you and then I’d go sign Teddy Bridgewater to take Daks place.

  18. Tag him amd draft a QB for next year They can go 8-8 with a rookie as easy as they can with Dak.

  19. Anyone with half a brain knows this deal is not getting done until the CBA is decided. For those comparing him to Wilson, many called Wilson average just a couple of years ago. Dak isn’t Mahomes but he is a franchise QB and you pay for that.

    exactly. This is why Wilson, Roethlisberger, Rodgers, and even Goff and Ryan got big deals. They quarterbacked a team that made it into the SB, and they repeated with good years after (or before). The farthest Dak got was the Divisional Round

  21. Jerry please let this guy walk. Do not put this team in cap hell for him. He is not Mahomes and never will be. He is not worth the money he wants. For once listen to the fans and let this guy walk. If he thinks he can get 40 mil a year let him go get it from another team lol

  22. Funny how Dak is judged as an 8-8 QB. So, when he was 13-3 in 2016, he was worth 35 million a year?
    It’s so illogical how a QB is attached to a team’s W-L record with all the things that happen in a football game, like the other 21 guys have no impact.

  23. That makes sense because if they make another offer the last one would then be an old offer.

  24. Tag him with the non-exclusive tag, let him see NO ONE is willing to offer as much as he thinks he is worth. If he is worth so damn much, why were defenses daring him to beat them by playing the run? Once his ego is deflated, trade his ass for a pick. No average QB is worth holding the team hostage.

  25. As a Bears Fan I feel Bad for Cowboy fans but also understand the frustration Having an owner that can’t make the right decisions for the team.If you think Dak Prescott can bring the Lombardi home you clearly dont understand how the cap space works and clearly haven’t looked closely on how he plays.
    PS Dont forget to say Goodbye to Amari Cooper

  26. Did Jerry miss that last Eagle game? The Eagles were depleted with injuries, they had practice squad players in that game, yet Dak could not score a touchdown. Jerry, go watch the last Eagle game before you open your check book.

  27. Dak and his agent are making a big mistake holding out on the last offer…he is not an elite QB and all of his stats show same.Many good QB’s are going to come out of this current draft and that will drive down the value of Daks offer going forward.Dak better take the money and run before he loses the current offer which is on the table.

  28. Look at Daks first year and look at last year. His first year he played outstanding because he had Romo sitting there showing and telling him what the defense was doing. Once Romo was not helping him read defenses he has been barely average. Let this guy walk. He is never going to win a Superbowl and I am tired of waiting

  29. The Cowboys are in a tough spot in that Dak is one of those 10th to 15th best QBs you can win in the playoffs with as long as you have a great team around him. The problem is that if you pay him like an elite QB, you can’t afford the great team around him – especially if you already have too much tied up at RB.

  30. If the other team is not worried about you like they are Mahomes Brees Rogers Wilson then you are not worth keeping. There is not one team afraid of Dak passing the ball

  31. Disclaimer….I am not a journalist. Having said that, does printing “Report” or “Sources” in front of a story allow you to print something without ensuring it’s accuracy? I’ve read numerous stories on this site that are prefaced with “Report” or “Sources”, and while sometimes they turn out to be accurate, just as many times they seem to be followed by contradictory reports.

  32. Cowboys made an offer, Dak needs to accept the offer or counter-offer. No reason for the Cowboys to make another offer until they receive the counter from Dak. Jerry & Stephen are too smart to bid against themselves.
    If Dak’s camp doesn’t understand how to conduct a negotiation maybe Dak needs a new agent.

  33. Dak Prescott appears to be almost Robotic he has never been able to read the defense, or lead a receiver when passing. Has a huge pay check ever made a Quarterback better?

    Zeke getting paid for what he had done, not what he was going to do. Zeke’s contract is also the reason Dak ain’t getting what he wants.
