The Facts: The Dallas Cowboys have made more progress in their contract negotiations with Prescott than Amari Cooper, according to a source. And while Cooper’s demands were deemed shockingly high for a team that openly recognizes the floor of his contract is $16 million annually, the Cowboys seem to be nonplussed about making Prescott the highest paid player in team history. That number will approach $30 million annually, according to a source, if not more.

Diehards Line:While he didn’t get into numbers, owner Jerry Jones reflected the team’s attitude toward Prescott during a visit with former Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin on the Rich Eisen Show on Monday. And he said emphatically, “I am confident we will get this (deal) done.” There is no question the Cowboys want to get a deal down with Cooper as well. The contract talks are just not moving as fast as they are with Prescott. The Cowboys would like to get both done before the start of the season. But there is no hard and fast timetable. Both are already under contract for 2019.
