predictions rolling as we inch closer to the start of the season the anticipation is building and so is the pressure but that's what being a Cowboys fan is all about right we live for these moments and we wouldn't have it any other way the stress-free Sundays are about to be a distant memory and the online discourse is already heating up from game previews to player performances Cowboys news TV will keep you informed and engaged throughout the entire season all right let's get into it CD Lamb's 4year $136 million extension is barely dry and now the attention shifts to Dak Prescott who's entering the final year of his 4-year $160 million contract the Cowboys know it dag knows it and we all know it either an extension gets done this season or the Cowboys are staring down the barrel of a brand new contract next year and let's be real neither side wants to entertain the idea of Dak hitting the open market the clock is ticking folks we're just nine days away from the season opener against the Cleveland Browns and instead of focusing on how the Cowboys will handle the Browns defense or keep miles Garrett from Wrecking Tyler gon's NFL debut the big question is what's going on with dak's contract Jerry Jones was quick to address it this week with the first question hitting on how negotiations with Dak are going now that CD's deal is done is there a deadline to get something done before week one is there a risk of losing Dak if nothing happens during the season and then there's Dak when asked about his contract situation on Thursday Dak was straightforward but left us with more questions than answers does he want to shut down negotiation ations once the season starts does he need a deal done before week one what does he think about Jerry's comments here's the thing Cowboys Nation dax's deal isn't just another extension it's more complicated than the deals signed by guys like Joe burrow Trevor Lawrence or Tua tago vioa those were second contracts with no leftover Financial baggage this is dak's third contract and it's grown over the years with restructures that need to be accounted for this isn't about the Cowboys doubting dak's ability or Dak not wanting to stay in Dallas this is about the almighty dollar and the even mightier salary cap Jerry Jones put it best when he said daak situation right now has more to do with our situation than it does with the merits of Dak Prescott being the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys it's all about how the Cowboys manage the cap and that's where things get tricky just look at CD's New Deal his 2024 cap hit is $8.75 million but that balloons to $4.45 million in 2025 and guess what that'll probably need to be restructured pushing money down the road but you can only push so much before you hit a financial Avalanche and that's what the Cowboys are trying to avoid with Dax deal the Cowboys have already restructured dak's current contract multiple times including this year whether Dak stays with the team or not next year the Cowboys still have to account for $40 million that's a massive chunk of change and it's not just dax's deal that's complicating things Demarcus Lawrence and Zach Martin are both in the final years of their contracts and if they're not on the roster in 2025 the Cowboys could be looking at nearly $25 million in dead money between the two of them then there's Micah Parsons whose payday is right around the corner all all this adds up to a potential cab nightmare which is why the Cowboys have been so cautious this offseason not signing any high-priced free agents and only making minor moves so Cowboys fans what do you think how should the Cowboys handle dax's contract situation should they try to get something done before week one or is it worth the risk to wait let us know your thoughts in the comments below and don't forget to vote in our poll on whether Dak should get a new deal before the season starts and while you're at it make sure to subscribe to Cowboys
