Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott made a promise this week that he won’t be as reckless with the ball in 2023 as he was last season. Prescott led the league in interceptions in 2022 with 15 picks and did it while playing just 12 games.

Speaking with reporters on Monday, Prescott touched on the subject of interceptions and said he believes they won’t be an issue this year because head coach Mike McCarthy will be calling plays.

“Some of it is the offense and them understanding exactly where we are,” Prescott said. “Mike does an amazing job with those guys [wide receivers]. They know where to be, and why to be when they’re getting looked at. That’s going to be a big jump. “

Prescott also made a bold promise that he won’t be in double digits in interceptions this upcoming season.

“I won’t have 10 interceptions this year,” he stated.

While picks haven’t been much of an issue early in Prescott’s career, he has been quite interception-prone in recent years. He was intercepted 10 or more times in three of his past four seasons. The one year he didn’t reach double-digit interceptions was 2020 when he had 4. However, he only played five games that year and was on pace to throw at least 10 interceptions if he had continued to be on the field.

The Dallas Cowboys have just entered the tier of NFL teams that have long-term security at the quarterback position. The organization finally managed to agree to a new contract with Dak Prescott, officially announcing the news on Monday via social media. 

The Cowboys didn’t disclose details about the agreement, but the NFL Network reported that Prescott inked a four-year deal worth $160 million. The contract comes with $126 million guaranteed and $66 million worth of a signing bonus. This is the largest signing bonus received by a player in NFL history.

The new deal for Dak Prescott was almost three years in the making and well-publicized. The negotiations took wrong turns at various stages, with the two sides being unable to come to terms about the contract length and guaranteed money. Reportedly, Dallas was insisting on a five-year agreement while Prescott’s representatives wanted a four-year contract.

After being unable to come to terms ahead of the 2020 NFL season, the Cowboys placed a $31.4 million franchise tag on Prescott. The 27-year-old signal-caller responded with an impressive five-game stretch, in which he threw for 1,856 yards and nine touchdowns before suffering a season-ending ankle injury.

Despite all the obstacles, Dallas and Prescott wanted to remain together, which ended up pushing the deal through. This will now allow both parties to operate without pressure in the 2021 NFL season and work together towards bringing the Cowboys back to Super Bowl.

Prescott, a fourth-round pick in 2016, has been the Cowboys’ starting quarterback for the past five years. He led the team to a 42–27 record during that period, and his stint under center resulted in two playoff appearances for the team.

Dallas Cowboys made another attempt to resume contract negotiations with their quarterback Dak Prescott. According to ESPN, Cowboys made a new offer to Prescott in an attempt to get the deal done before the franchise tag deadline on Thursday.

Cowboys and Prescott have been engaged in negotiations for more than a year, and the attempts to get an agreement haven’t proved fruitful until now. Dallas is reportedly pushing for a team-friendly deal while the player is looking to reset the QB market. The two sides haven’t been talking since September and only resumed negotiations at the scouting combine in Indianapolis in late February.

ESPN’s Todd Archer reports that Dallas’ offer is worth more than $100 million, with Prescott set to receive $33 million a year if he accepts the deal. This wasn’t enough for the 26-year-old to ink the contract, however, and he is ready to wait for a better proposal.

In case the deal doesn’t get done soon, Dallas Cowboys will probably use a franchise tag on Dak Prescott. If Cowboys opt for an exclusive tag, Prescott will earn $33 million in 2020 while being ineligible to talk with other teams. In case of a common franchise tag, Prescott would earn $27 million, but would be able to negotiate a contract with another franchise and see whether Dallas would match it.

Prescott had a career year in 2019, completing 65.1 percent of his passes for 4,902 yards and 30 touchdowns. This, however, didn’t lead to wins as Cowboys finished the season with 8-8 record and missed the playoffs.

Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott spent the majority of the past year negotiating an extension, but didn’t manage to strike a deal until now. And, as recent reports suggest, they are still a long way from finding an agreement.

According to NFL Network and ESPN, the most likely outcome of this situation will be Cowboys placing a franchise tag on Prescott. However, they added that neither side would be happy with this solution.

Reportedly, Dallas would like to resolve the situation quickly and will continue to insist on a long-term deal in the next weeks. Prescott, after playing on a $2 million contract last season, would also like the long-term security, but isn’t willing to budge from his terms in order to get it right away.

The biggest issue in the talks is the determination of Prescott’s value. Reports say that Dallas is willing to make Prescott among the most paid QBs in the league, but that isn’t enough for the player. The 26-year-old two-times Pro Bowler instead wants to reset the QB market and become the highest-paid player on the position.

Prescott rejected the contract offer last offseason and instead decided to bet on himself in 2019. Although he had career year statistically, throwing for 4,902 and 30 touchdowns, this didn’t translate into wins. Cowboys missed the playoffs, finishing with 8-8, which is something that the front office is probably using it as leverage in the negotiations.

Despite starting every game for the Dallas Cowboys in the last three years, quarterback Dak Prescott was one of the least paid QBs in the league last season, earning $630,000 in 2018. He is looking to change that soon and is currently negotiating a new contract extension with the Cowboys although two sides are yet not close to the deal. Still, the fans shouldn’t be worried about the negotiations too much, as it seems like Prescott is determined to play out his career in Dallas.

“I want to be a Cowboy forever,” – said Prescott in a recent interview published on the Cowboys’ official website. “I think the people that are doing the deal feel the same way so to me it’s no rush. I know it will get done.”

According to Prescott, he isn’t too worried about the contract extension and rather focuses on becoming a better football player.

“My whole focus is within the locker room,” – he added. “I’ve got people that take care of that. I’ve got a great team, team of agents. That’s their job. Jerry has said when he’s had to that they are negotiating but as far as I’m concerned, it’s just about getting better, getting better as quarterback, getting better as a leader and just making sure our team is getting better.”

Dak Prescott was drafted in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, and initially supposed to be a backup for veteran Tony Romo. After Romo got injured in the preseason, Prescott assumed the role of a starter in at the beginning of his rookie season and hasn’t looked back since. He is currently the QB with most wins (33) since 2016 after New England Patriots’ Tom Brady.

During his three years in the NFL, Prescott completed 66.1 percent of his passes for 10,876 yards and 67 touchdowns in the regular season. He also rushed for 944 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Is it just us or is trash talk getting heated up in the opening weeks of 2018 NFL season? After all the antics from Jags’ cornerback Jalen Ramsey, New York Giants safety Landon Collins also decided to get into the business of throwing shade by making interesting comments about Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott.

After being asked about the strategy of Giants’ defense for the Sunday’s game against the Cowboys, Collins said that they need to stop their running game and running back Ezekiel Elliott and that they have a better shot of winning the game if the ball is in Prescott’s hands.

“We’re making sure we close the air out of their offensive running game,” said Collins. “If we do that, put the ball in Dak’s hands, I think we’ll have a better shot at winning.”

Reporters asked Dak Prescott about Collins’ comments, and the 25-year-old QB looked like he is ready to get the ball in his hands.

“Challenge accepted,” said Prescott. “Challenge accepted.”

Cowboys receiver Allen Hurns also weighed in on the comments from the opposition, saying that the team feels they were more about the entire passing game.

“As far as him saying it out loud, it doesn’t change anything for us,” – said Hurns. “Of course, he kind of called out our quarterback, but we know, week in, week out, we’ve got to make plays in the passing game.”

While Landon Collins’ comments were a well-though dig to get his opponents off balance, he does have a point. In the recent time, when teams gave Dak Prescott opportunity to beat them, he mostly blew it.

Prescott ended the season-opening loss against the Carolina Panthers by throwing for 170 yards and completing 19 out of his 29 passes. This means that he didn’t pass for 200 or more yards in seven games out of his last nine. The even more alarming thing is that he didn’t have a single touchdown pass in his previous six regular-season games.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has set some big goals for the future. The 24-year-old QB spoke with the reporters at the Cowboys’ Reliant Home Run Derby and declared that he wants to be the best QB in the history of the franchise.

“I want to be the best I can,” – said Prescott. “I want to be the best quarterback that the Cowboys ever had. So when I go in each and every day, it’s just about being the best player I can be. All that stuff comes when you play the game well.“

Prescott is facing a tough task since two he will be chasing some of the all-time greats. Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman are both Hall of Famers and won five Super Bowls combined. And then there is Danny White, who led the Cowboys to NFC Championship Games three seasons and Tony Romo, who is currently franchise leader in passing yards and touchdown passes.

Dallas Cowboys selected Dak Prescott in the fourth round of 2016 NFL draft, with the intention to develop him under the mentorship of their starting QB, Tony Romo. After backup Kellen Moore and Romo both suffered injuries before the season start, Cowboys were forced to make Prescott their starting quarterback. The rookie responded in the best way possible, leading the team to 13-3 record and NFC East title. Prescott was named AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year for 2016.

In the 2017 season, Cowboys missed the playoffs despite the 9-7 record, but Dak Prescott had another strong showing with 3,324 passing yards and 22 passing touchdowns alongside 357 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns.
