Cowboys news: Breaking down what it will take for the Cowboys to sign Dak Prescott long-term

Can the Cowboys finally get a deal done with their star quarterback? If so, here's what a potential deal could look like.

Contract Length: The biggest sticking point in last year’s negotiations was length of contract. The Cowboys were insistent on a five year deal while Prescott only wanted to sign for four years. If representing Prescott, I would be adamant about only signing a three-year deal with a second franchise tag imminent. My position would be Prescott wanted to be under contract through the 2023 season once his rookie contract expired.
