Troy Aikman Champions Dak Prescott’s Long-Term Future With Cowboys

As Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott awaits to hear if he will earn a contract extension with the team, former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman thinks Prescott is a shoe in.

Despite Prescott’s 2–5 playoff record during his time in Dallas so far, Aikman thinks the 30-year-old still has his “best years” ahead with the franchise.

“He’ll be here for a little while longer, he should be,” Aikman said, via Patrik Walker. “He’s proven he can play at a high level. I know that they’ve come up short as a team the last few years, but he’s been a great player in this league. His best years are still ahead of him.”

This isn’t the first time Aikman shared high praise for Prescott. After the Cowboys lost to the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round in January, the ESPN announcer said he “still believes in Dak.”

Prescott said Monday that he is “confident” the two sides will come to a contract extension agreement, via ESPN. He’s entering the last year of his $160 million contract. An extension would allow for the Cowboys to open up more cap space as his current salary would count for $59.45 million against the cap this upcoming season.
