Dak Prescott Contract Talks Reportedly Deadlocked Over Guaranteed Money, Length

Last week, it was reported that the Dallas Cowboys had reopened contract negotiations with Dak Prescott for the first time since using the exclusive franchise tag on him. Liz Loza of Yahoo would soon add she heard rumors that the two sides were actually closing in on a four-year contract with an annual salary of $35 million.

On Monday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler updated the negotiations and they have appeared to hit a snag as there are two huge issues holding up the deal. The 1st one is the guaranteed money and the other is the length of the contract.
