The Dallas Cowboys are known for dragging their feet and taking their time to do almost everything. However, this time it might backfire. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is in his final year of his contract, and the team has yet to sign him to a new deal. As a result, the cost of Dak's new contract will be even more expensive after Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence just signed a 55-million-dollar contract that ties with the league’s highest paid.
