Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott reportedly has received his final offer for a contract extension just before the deadline on July 15th.

According to NFL Network’s Jane Slater, the team is prepared to sign Prescott for an average annual salary of between $33 million and $35 million with more than $100 million guaranteed.

I’m told the final offer on the table for Dak Prescott is between 33-35M annually with over 100M guaranteed. While there have still been no discussions between the two that’s the deal the #Cowboys have presented ahead of tomorrow’s deadline per a source informed.

Why is the extra year a sticking point? I’m told they just don’t do 4 year extensions. The #Cowboys consider the offer top money so they want the extra year. If he doesn’t reach a deal Wednesday he plays for 31.4M in 2020 on the franchise tag https://t.co/O7TNdINeFQ

The issue between the two sides have been about the amount of years, with Prescott wanting a 4-year deal, but the Cowboys have been pushing for five.

Prescott signed the exclusive franchise tag tender on June 22, which guaranteed he would not miss any of training camp and he will bring in $31.4 million in 2020.
