“Jerry Jones Is Looking At Dak Prescott Like That Good Girl In High School” – claims former Cowboys Defensive end

The Dak Prescott contract saga has been going on all summer. With two weeks left for deadline day, there is still no update as to whether the Cowboys QB will put pen to paper on a long-term deal anytime soon. There are rumors that strict-negotiator Jerry Jones will make Dak Prescott the highest-paid Dallas Cowboys player ever on Deadline Day (July 15, 2020). Reports indicate that Dallas is offering Prescott a lucrative five-year contract worth $35 million. However, Prescott and his entourage want a shorter four-year deal. Will Jerry Jones be able to hold on to his star quarterback?

While appearing on Speak For Yourself alongside Emmanuel Acho, former Cowboys Defensive end Marcellus Willey launched a detailed assessment on Jerry Jones’ handling of star QB Dak Prescott. Willey said “I don’t think Jerry is sitting there and fully appreciating what he has in Dak Prescott and it’s not even an indictment on that. Jerry is a prisoner of his own success. People get into that position, climb the mountain of success, become rich and famous. But all of a sudden, they become reckless.”

The former NFL All-Pro player further highlighted Prescott’s impact on Dallas Cowboys’ performance over the last two NFL seasons. “Here comes Dak, off a team that went 4-12. He takes them in his rookie year to 13-3 and now he (Jerry Jones) is starting to say ‘I got this dude on the cheap, maybe I can ride the wave a little different to the same place’ and he locks himself in.”

“A prisoner of his own success from before and looking at Dak Prescott like ‘You’re gonna be my savior’ on the cheap. Right now, Jerry is just lost in his own sauce. He’s not fully appreciating what he has at the moment,” Willey added.

Dak Prescott joined the Cowboys in 2016. He had a dream rookie season that year as he led the Cowboys to a 13-3 record. However, his form over the next three years was a tad bit inconsistent. But Prescott finished last season with 30 TDs, 4,902 passing yards which are the best NFL seasonal stats of his career. However, the Cowboys had a dismal overall season that ended with an 8-8 record.
