Prescott currently sits to carry a $59.455 million salary-cap hit in 2024 &#8212; the final year of a four-year, $160 million contract signed in 2021. Such a cap hit would significantly hinder what Dallas could do during free agency &#8212; the team also has extensions for young stars Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb on its to-do list &#8212; so expect talks to ramp up once the season ends.<\/p>\n<p>Rapoport reported Sunday that Prescott is due a $5 million roster bonus due on the fifth day of the new league year, so a potential extension likely would occur before that deadline. Prescott&#8217;s current deal also contains no-trade and no-franchise tag clauses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prescott currently is playing some of the best ball of his career and is fresh off a three-TD performance in a prime-time win over the Seahawks on the heels of winner NFC Offensive Player of the Month for November. Thursday&#8217;s win over Seattle marked Prescott&#8217;s sixth consecutive game with two or more touchdowns, and his 20 TDs through the air are the most in Cowboys history since 1970 over a six-game span.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I understand nobody&#8217;s opinion defines me, that&#8217;s the great part about life and that&#8217;s the great opportunity that we all have, that people can say whatever they want, but you know I have the pen, I have the paper and I&#8217;m the one writing,&#8221; Prescott told reporters on Thursday night when asked how it feels to be silencing critics with his recent play. &#8220;So, because I&#8217;m playing as well as I am now doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m going to stop, doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m going to listen to them now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/dak-prescott-cowboys-expected-to-work-out-long-term-contract-extension-in-offsea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dak Prescott could be on the verge of a MVP season &#8212;
