Cowboys news: One opinion says paying Dak Prescott $40 million/yr is better than letting him walk

Jon Machota takes a moment to answer a few questions, including entertaining a worst-case scenario with the Dak Prescott contract dilemma.

If Dak says he won’t take less than $40mm, do you sign him or let him go? — Patrick W.

I don’t think that will happen, but I’d probably still end up doing the deal. Jerry Jones is a much better businessman than me, though, so he might not. The way I look at it is if Dak is the next quarterback to sign and he gets $40 million, Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson are going to get more when they eventually sign.
