The volume surrounding Dak Prescott’s contract situation is getting exponentially louder by the day. A league insider has floated a dollar figure that he thinks the club will have to hit in order to get Prescott to put pen to paper. Another of the league’s premier passers has expressed frustration with his current club, so Las Vegas is already running odds on whether Dallas swings a deal for him to replace Prescott. Three-time champion Troy Aikman weighs in with his thoughts, and Kirk Cousins has resumed telling Prescott to let the tag just happen. Oh, and one major outlet is imagining Dak in teal.
