The Facts: With the Dallas Cowboys' season over, the Jason Garrett drama settled, and Mike McCarthy in the saddle, the Joneses will now gallop forward with their most pressing matter of the offseason: locking down Prescott. Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones made it clear Friday that Dallas plans to get a deal done with Dak, and noted sides almost completed a pact before the season started. "We've got to land the plane and get his deal done," Jones said.

Diehards Line: Prescott put contract talk on hold during the 2019 campaign after offseason speculation put his future deal anywhere from $34 to 40 million per season. The Cowboys had a disappointing up-down season to finish 8-8 and miss the playoffs. Prescott, however, showed he could be part of the long-term solution, finishing one yard shy of tying Tony Romo's franchise record of 4,903 yards passing in 2012. This year, Prescott joined Dan Marino as the only QBs in the Super Bowl era with 40-plus wins and 15,000-plus passing yards over their first four seasons. After having the quarterback at a bargain rate, the Cowboys head into the offseason knowing they'll have to pay up. The tricky part for Dallas, and the reason there was some urgency in Jones' comment, is that Prescott isn't the Cowboys' only big-ticket free agent. Receiver Amari Cooper is also scheduled to hit the open market in March.
