Here's the One Thing Holding Back Dak Prescott From Signing Cowboys Extension

The Dallas Cowboys made some headline-grabbing additions this offseason, but they haven't sorted out the biggest question on the roster, as quarterback Dak Prescott has yet to sign a new long-term contract.

According to Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports, the holdup in negotiations has been over Prescott's insistence on a four-year deal, while the Cowboys are trying to offer Prescott a five-year deal.

Mike Fisher of Sports Illustrated reported the Cowboys have a five-year, $35 million per year offer on the table that would make Dak the highest-paid player in NFL history, so you can't accuse them of trying to lowball him.

Prescott almost threw for 5,000 yards last season during his age-26 season, and another year in Kellen Moore's vertical offense should help those numbers once again be among the best in all of football. If the Cowboys give into his demands, quarterback will be set for the next five years.

Both sides clearly want to get a deal done, and the Cowboys seem more than willing to give Prescott essentially a blank check. At this point, any holdup is related to arguing over specifics and semantics. Five years vs. four years seems to be the biggest holdup in a contract dispute that has been going on for ages.
