It’s a deadline-driven business, and the clock is ticking loudly. The Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott are still trying, we’re told, to get a new deal finished before the season starts tomorrow. The situation has gone from looking hopeless to somewhat hopeful. It’s unclear how firm the Sunday deadline really is. There’s nothing in the CBA or otherwise that keeps …
