Dak Prescott declares that Kellen Moore has total command while respecting the player’s opinion
The Cowboys young offensive coordinator has no problems getting the respect of his former teammates. It’s an interesting dynamic for Kellen Moore. Just a few years ago he was a teammate with many of the players on the Cowboys roster. He, along with his teammates, were the ones listening to the coaches, attending meetings and taking notes, studying playbooks and trying to stay up with all the things players must do. Last year, that abruptly changed when he retired from being a player and moved into the position of quarterback coach. Suddenly, he was the one on the front of the room running...

Bill Barnwell predicts $32 million annually for Dak Prescott
That still wouldn’t make Prescott the highest-paid quarterback on an annual basis. The waiting game continues. We know at some point the Cowboys are going to strike a new deal with quarterback Dak Prescott. We also know that deal is going to pay Prescott a lot of money, much more than the bargain-basement contract he’s been working off since he entered the league. There is plenty of debate about Prescott and whether he is worth the kind of dough he’s about to get. It’s a valid debate, and one fans should engage in respectfully, because we won’t really know the answer until we see...

How the Cowboys can give Jaylon Smith Luke Kuechly-type money and still get a great bargain
The early bird gets a promising linebacker talent for many years to come. The Dallas Cowboys have a talented group of youngsters that are going to be so fun to watch for years to come.

CBS Sports ranks Dak-Zeke-Amari as NFL’s sixth best triplets
The new triplets for the Cowboys? It’s pretty rare to find yourself looking at a team that has a great quarterback, running back, and wide receiver trio, but that was the case with the Cowboys of the 90’s, leading to the nickname of the Triplets. Now the Cowboys are working on a newer version of the Triplets with Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and Amari Cooper. The trio elevated the offense in a significant way last year once they were all united, and they’re a big reason why Dallas was able to make the playoffs after a 3-5 start in 2018. But the Cowboys aren’t the only team with...

Despite the narratives, Dak Prescott is a very good downfield passer
Stats show the opposite of what people say, Prescott is very effective when he throws deep. Dak Prescott is set to become the next $30 million man in the NFL — quite the achievement for a quarterback that was selected with the 135th pick just three years ago. Prescott has done nothing but put his team in position to win since entering the league, leading the Dallas Cowboys to two NFC East titles in three seasons, never having a .500 or worse record, and compiling the second most wins in the league since his debut (only behind some guy named Tom Brady). Still, though, there have been some...

Cowboys news: Dak Prescott will be paid $30M+, how rosters are constructed around big QB salaries
Continuing the conversation on future contracts for the Cowboys’ top players. How Should NFL Teams Build Around the $30 Million Quarterback? -Robert Mays- The RingerThe two emerging methods: Pay everyone & having no wiggle room or stripping the roster down to the studs. Even after including Prescott’s projected new salary in the mix, the Cowboys would still likely have between $50 million and $60 million in cap space next season (without factoring in any other extensions).
