Dak Prescott Continues to Prove Cowboys Wrong for Waiting on Contract Extension

Jerry Jones rarely gets outfoxed when it comes to any sort of contract negotiation, but his reluctance to pay Dak Prescott is going to cost him.

While the Dallas Cowboys quarterback started slowly on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants, he was excellent in the fourth quarter, throwing two touchdowns and leading Dallas to a 37-18 win over Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, and the Giants.

Pay the man his money.

Prescott finished the game with 257 yards passing and three touchdowns. After suffering through Scott Linehan's infuriating offense for the first three years of his career, Dak has really gravitated to new OC Kellen Moore's system.

Moore, a former backup of Prescott, has Dak taking more chances down the field, and he is showing off his playmaking ability on the move. This pivot towards highlighting what he does best has proven that Dak is a guy you can build around.

With every touchdown Dak throws and with every win the Cowboys pile up, his price tag is only going to go up. Eventually, he will force Jerry's hand, and the Cowboys will pony up for their franchise quarterback.

Looks like Dallas should've just paid Prescott this summer.
