It’s not one thing that gets it done at the negotiating table for Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys.
Not “this thing” or “that thing,” not the simplicity of the Houston Texans’ Deshaun Watson pushing the boundaries of the contract extension spectrum or Patrick Mahomes laying the price-versus-control foundation of a decade-long deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The simple, easy hope is to say these two guys have set the new market, so now it gets easy for Prescott and the Cowboys.
