Despite all the outside noise caving in, the Dallas Cowboys know that all the contract negotiations will work itself out sooner or later. One of the buzzing headlines of the Cowboys' offseason was quarterback Dak Prescott's unsettled contract talks.

Running back Ezekiel Elliott shared his take on the hot topic with The Athletic's Jon Machota via Twitter:

Prescott was intended to serve as a backup in his rookie season, but eventually became the Cowboys' starting quarterback after starter Tony Romo was injured in the preseason proceedings back in 2016. The Cowboys finished the season with a 13-3 record and subsequently clinched the NFC East title. The team lost to the hands of the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round of the 2016 NFL Playoffs which ended their season.

After a spectacular rookie season, Prescott was selected to the Pro Bowl and the PFWA All-Rookie Team and was also named the 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. The former Mississipi State Bulldog went on to become the Cowboys' primary gunslinger for the next three seasons.

He followed his solid string of performances with another Pro Bowl appearance in 2018. Prescott finished the 2019 season with 4,902 passing yards, 30 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.

However, both the quarterback and the front office were not able to advance in contract negotiations. The Cowboys were reportedly seeking a seven-year term with Prescott countering with a three-year offer. The team wanted to keep him at the helm for as long as possible but Prescott desired a deal that will be more financially appealing for him. Both parties have yet to meet halfway on their negotiations.

The latest move was made when the Cowboys placed the franchise tag on Prescott on March 16, 2020, worth $31.4 million for the 2020 season. He eventually signed the tender three months later on June 22, 2020.

For now, the focus for Prescott and the Cowboys will be to advance to the playoff picture once again after missing out with an 8-8 record last season. The long-disputed paycheck can take care of itself later on.
