Dak Prescott sent a clear message to Jerry Jones about his contract situation with the Dallas Cowboys.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott implied the 2024 season could be his last with the team if a contract extension isn’t reached. The quarterback acknowledged that fact when speaking to reporters from the Children’s Cancer Fund Gala on Friday. The Athletic‘s Jon Machota shared the news in his latest piece.

“I’m not gonna say I fear being here or not. I don’t fear either situation, to be candid with you,” Prescott told reporters Friday at a charity event. “I love this game and love to play and love to better myself as a player and my teammates around me. Right now, it’s with the Dallas Cowboys. It’s where I want to be, and that’s where I am, and that’s the focus. After this season, we’ll see where we’re at, and if the future holds that, then [great]. If not, we’ll go from there.”

The quarterback acknowledged that fact when speaking to reporters from the Children’s Cancer Fund Gala on Friday. The Athletic’s Jon Machota shared the news in his latest piece.

Prescott did appear to corroborate claims that there isn’t much of a push for a deal right now, which suggests that meaningful talks about an extension haven’t yet begun.

“I’m focused on the moment and on the now,” Prescott said. “If the talks begin and real talks get to happen, I’m sure we can talk about getting that done.”

Dallas saw its 12-5 season end in an upset loss at home to the Green Bay Packers in the NFC wild-card round. The biggest knock on Dak Prescott is his record once the lights get bright. The Cowboys are 2-5 in the postseason with Prescott under center and have never made it past the divisional round. The franchise as a whole is still seeking its first NFC Championship Game appearance since the 1995 season.

For now, the Cowboys have other substantial contract matters to attend to, as two-time All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons is extension eligible and wide receiver and three-time Pro Bowler CeeDee Lamb is a free agent after next season.

Prescott, a three-time Pro Bowler, will be 31 at the start of the 2024 season.

He’s coming off arguably the best season of his eight-year career, as he totaled 4,516 passing yards, 242 rushing yards, an NFL-high 36 passing touchdowns, nine interceptions, and a 105.9 passer rating, while completing 69.5% of his passes. His passer rating and completion percentage were career-best.

Another career year could set him up for a huge contract from the Cowboys or another team.
