Cowboys’ Dak Prescott: ‘I understand people’s angst’ about not winning Super Bowl as contract extension looms

Dak Prescott desperately wants to end the Dallas Cowboys’ 28-year championship drought. But he isn’t letting that define a career he hopes will soon be rewarded by the team via a contract extension. 

Despite all of Prescott’s success, the fact that he has yet to get to the big game has led to question marks ranging from his status as an elite quarterback to whether or not the Cowboys should offer him a contract that would pay him as such. Prescott understands his predicament; he’s just not subscribing to it. 

“I’m free right now,” Prescott recently told Yahoo Sports. “As in, where I am in life, what I’ve done here — not what I’ve done here, but who I’ve been here. Understanding that sure, I’m deserving of [the next contract]. But then again, I mean, I told [my physical therapist] Luke [Miller] this: This game is judged off of winning the Super Bowl. And I understand people’s angst, maybe their angst and me having not done that.

“Hey, if these people want to move on, it’s a business,” Prescott continued. “But I know, as I said in the media, it’s a two-way street. Things have to be right from my end as well.”
