"No precipitation. I know it will be done

FRISCO, Texas – After his first round of the Reliant Home Run Derby on Wednesday night, Dak Prescott stepped out of the box to head to a group of media people who were eager to talk to the Cowboys quarterback.

A little frustrated at having scored only two points in this round, the confident Prescott told reporters that he would pull himself together, saying "the best is yet to come".

Now, Prescott was simply referring to another round in the derby. But coincidentally, that's exactly what the Cowboys are hoping for with Prescott, who is expected to sign a new contract at some point, perhaps in the offseason, to become one of the highest paid quarters in history. of the NFL.

But when asked if he felt any pressure to reach an agreement as soon as possible, Prescott did so with ease.

"I want to be a cowboy forever," said Prescott. "I think the people who make the deal feel the same, so I'm in no hurry. I know it will be done.

Prescott said he was not worried about signing a new deal. And even though we are in mid-May, his attention is centered on the same place, it's all year.

"My whole goal is in the locker room," said Prescott. "I have people who take care of that. I have a good team, a team of agents. It's their job. Jerry said he was forced to negotiate, but for me, it's just about improving, improving as a quarter, improving as a leader and making sure our team will improve. "

Last month, Seattle's Russell Wilson became the highest paid player in NFL history with a $ 140 million, four-year contract extension that will bring him about $ 35 million. dollars per season.

Whether Prescott approaches this contract or not, he knows that the money that is intended for him is much higher than he could have imagined.

"It's all the money of generations and money that changes lives. It is a blessing to be in this position. But when it comes to numbers, I focus on the locker room. I know it'll be taken care of so that's what it is. "

And while the Cowboys public relations staff was trying to move the talk forward so that he could return to the dugout for his next turn, Dak added another quote for good measure.

"I want to be a cowboy, I'm sure I'll be a cowboy for a long time," he said. "I do not fear or fear that this will not happen or that I will try to do it sooner than later. No problem. It will be done. "
