Glazer: Cowboys 'Intent' on Signing Dak Prescott to New Contract This Offseason

The Dallas Cowboys plan to hang on to quarterback Dak Prescott, who missed most of the season after suffering a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle.

"The Cowboys are intent on getting a deal done with Dak," Jay Glazer of Fox Sports said (3:10 mark) Monday. "I know Mike McCarthy loves him. The Joneses love him. I do think he'll end up getting a deal."

Prescott signed a $31.4 million franchise tag with the team ahead of the 2020 campaign. 

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones expressed a similar sentiment on 105.3 The Fan (h/t Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk) earlier this month, saying that getting Prescott a new contract was "right there at the top in terms of contracts." 

ESPN's Adam Schefter said the two sides "intend to stay together" moving forward.

The two-time Pro Bowler threw for 1,856 yards with nine passing touchdowns, three rushing touchdowns and four interceptions, posting a career-best 68 completion percentage before going down in Week 5. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday that Prescott is "coming along great" as he recovers from the surgery he had to repair the injury.

The Cowboys were 2-3 before Andy Dalton took over, and finished the season at 6-10. In a dismal NFC East, they ended up having a strong chance at the division title, but fell short of the Washington Football Team's 7-9 record. As a result, they'll draft at No. 10 this spring, which might be too late for the team to draft Prescott's replacement, even if they wanted to.
