Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made it clear on Tuesday that Dak Prescott is the team’s quarterback of the future and still plan to sign him to an extension, despite his struggles.
“Dak is the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys,” Jones said, per David Helman. “He’s young, and he’s going to get extended.”
After Monday’s loss to the Titans, Jones mentioned that the performance did not impact his outlook on Prescott.
“Tonight’s game did not — did not, I emphasize — impact my future look at Dak Prescott. Not tonight,” Jones said, via DallasCowboys.com.
Prescott will be one of the more interesting contract negotiations to watch next year, depending on how he finishes the season.
Prescott, 25, is a former fourth-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2016. He’s currently in the third year of his four-year, $2.72 million contract and set to make base salaries of $630,000 and $720,000 over the final two years of the agreement.
In 2018, Prescott has appeared in eight games for the Cowboys and completed 62.9 percent of his passes for 1,660 yards to go along with 10 touchdowns and five interceptions. He has also rushed for 247 yards and two touchdowns.
