Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is optimistic about securing a contract extension before the start of the regular season, citing 'good conversations' with the team. Entering the final year of his four-year, $160 million deal, Prescott expressed confidence that a deal will be reached, although no specific timeline has been provided. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones has indicated that the goal is to extend Prescott's contract, which currently pays him $29 million for the upcoming season but falls short of the market value for franchise quarterbacks. Some concerns persist regarding whether the Cowboys should commit to a lucrative deal for Prescott, especially with looming extensions for other key players like Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb. Despite mixed opinions on Prescott's elite status, his performance has kept him in discussions as a top quarterback, having thrown for over 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns in multiple seasons. The situation remains fluid as the Cowboys prepare for their season opener against the Cleveland Browns on September 8.
