Cowboys VP mum on 'details, timing' of Dak Prescott deal - ESPN

INDIANAPOLIS — The end result for the Dallas Cowboys is for Dak Prescott to be their quarterback of the present and future.

Prescott, 30, is coming off his best season in which he led the NFL in touchdown passes (36), was named a second-team All Pro and threw for 4,516 yards as the Cowboys finished 12-5 and won the NFC East. However, their season ended unceremoniously with a 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
