FRISCO, Texas -- Talks between the Dallas Cowboys and the agent for Dak Prescott should begin to heat up soon, and if they don't, then we have all wasted significant time and energy in discussing the quarterback's short- and long-term future.
By now, everybody should know the major issue between the sides is the length of the contract. The Cowboys want at least a five-year commitment as a way to ease their salary-cap burden. Todd France, the agent who represents Prescott, wants a four-year deal so his client can get back out on the market when the new television money eventually balloons the NFL's economics.
