Prescott willing to consider Cowboys' needs in extension talks

While he would like to get paid, quarterback Dak Prescott won't necessarily try to break the bank when he negotiates a contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys.

"That's all good money, and that's all big money, honestly," Prescott told Lorenzo Reyes of USA TODAY Sports. "I haven't decided, or haven't even talked about whether it's a fully guaranteed deal, all up front, or whatever, short-term deal, or make it long term. I've got to take care of myself and take care of my family. But at the same time, I want to do what's best to get good players around me and keep good players around me, because that's how you win."

There's no indication that contract talks between Dallas and Prescott, who has two years remaining on his rookie deal and is set to make a meager $630,000 in 2018, have already begun.

However, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones acknowledged in May that the team is already budgeting for a Prescott extension in its future payroll projections.

"Personally, it's about winning, man," Prescott said. "When it comes to the contract, we know this is a year where it's going to happen in some form or fashion. For me, it's just about focusing on being the best I can. Being the best quarterback I can to make sure we win a lot of games so that I can show this organization what I can do and what I can do for many years to come. I know if I do that and win a bunch of games, go out there and win a Super Bowl, that money will take care of itself."

Prescott enjoyed a stellar rookie campaign but regressed slightly last season, throwing for 3,324 yards with 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions while completing 62.9 percent of his passes.
