The Dallas Cowboys look set to enter negotiations with star quarterback Dak Prescott in the off season as they try sign him up on a long term contract.
Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones confirmed their interest in Prescott, but what he did not say was the workaround regarding the $59 million salary cap albatross.
“Our whole thing with Dak is him being a Cowboy. That"s all that"s on our mind," Jones said when asked about Prescott"s future at Dallas. “[We] certainly don"t get into those type of thoughts."
Asked about salary cap expectations he continued, “We won"t be expounding on those type of things with our negotiations.
“I mean, that"s obviously something as we move forward, hopefully we"ll continue to make progress and communicate. Sorry to tell you guys, but we"re not gonna be giving reports on how things are going," he told a phalanx of reporters at the NFL combine on Tuesday.
