00:00 It's gonna be a big storyline this offseason and it feels like we were just talking about it quarterback Dak Prescott and his

00:07 Contract. How do you think Dak and the Cowboys should approach this contract?

00:12 I know that there's certainly a sentiment among Cowboy watchers to actually give him a discount

00:17 You know, he's he's not really one of the five best players and it you know, he's a four MVP

00:23 He's not really one of the five best players. He's not really one of the five most valuable give him a discount

00:27 It's a lovely idea

00:29 I if I'm a if I'm a fan

00:31 And if I'm somebody in this building running the salary cap with a big pencil and a big calculator

00:36 I'm in favor of it, too

00:38 I feel like Tom Brady set that precedent right and made everybody think that that's what you have to do

00:43 And and and it helped Tom Brady's teams when it did Dirk Nowitzki in the NBA

01:19 I would like to think that there's a compromise of sorts in there, but the clock is ticking

01:26 March 13th is the start of the NFL business year

01:29 If you don't get it done by then

01:32 Then the next thing you know you you are facing having to deal with his 59 million dollar cap hit and that day

01:39 Obviously you have to be kept compliant means you will have to have done all kinds of other things

01:44 20 million dollar things to get there

01:46 So I think in the next five weeks, there's a new contract for Dak Prescott simply because there almost has to be

01:51 - Okay.
