Cowboys give CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott new contract offers
Executive vice president Stephen Jones said Saturday the Cowboys sent a new offer to receiver CeeDee Lamb’s representation Friday. The team also recently sent a new offer to Dak Prescott’s agent.
Talks are progressing for both players, and the Cowboys seem optimistic they can get both signed by the start of the regular season.
“Right now, I would characterize both conversations as upbeat,” Jones said. “We’re having good talks back and forth with both Todd [France] and Tory [Dandy]. I like where we stand.”
France, Prescott’s agent, is in talks with the Cowboys about a third contract for the quarterback. It took two years for Prescott to get his second contract, a four-year, $160 million deal that expires at the end of this season.
Prescott has all the leverage, with no-trade and no-tag clauses, so he is in control of whether he becomes a free agent in March.
“We’re talking. Make no mistake about it. We’re talking,” Owner Jerry Jones said Saturday.
Lamb, whose agent is Dandy, is not participating in training camp as he seeks a raise on the $17.9 million he is scheduled to make on his fifth-year option.

The other part of it is Jerry really wants another SB ring and event though Dak isn’t that guy there isn’t anyone left. As much as this is poor management by the Cowboys you gotta give Dak credit for waiting it out to get his bag. Might become the highest paid QB in the league by default.
Jerry has played this about as bad as he could. Dak would be under contract for cheaper right this second if Jerry could commit.
For a supposed shrewd businessman he ensured that this contract will be higher than it ever was, or he'll lose his QB and not get another one probably in his lifetime.

Jerry never learned.
Jerry reminds me of Al Davis. Was good when he was younger, but as he aged he declined. They are in a rock and a hard place. Dak is by no means a scrub, but he is limited. He reminds me a lot like Alex Smith. [Reply]
Their best players not named Lamb or Parsons are guys like DeMarcus Lawrence and Zack Martin, guys who are at the very least going to be declining very soon. Just baffling. Trevon Diggs looked promising but is he back to form after the ACL? [Reply]

Jerry's biggest plus is clearly that he's financially committed & always has been.
Since running Parcells off by meddling it's been one inept puppet after another. I think it's interesting to contemplate what Romo's career would have been with HOF coaching instead of Jason Garrett.
I also think it'll be interesting to see what the younger Jones does once Jerry is in the ground. He strikes me as more level headed comparatively. Once that happens they won't be as entertaining to follow so I won't care but still. [Reply]

I just love to rip on the Cowboy failure. The bandwagon pieces of shit all over Missouri were insufferable in the early 90s. Niners fans everywhere too. Now they magically all love the Chiefs [Reply]
