The Dallas Cowboys have kicked off training camp with Ezekiel Elliott absent with him holding out. As for Dak Prescott, he doesn't hold the same sentiment as Elliott in terms of his contract.

When asked about his contract situation, Dak Prescott says his new contract “will happen when it happens”. The Cowboys quarterback is hoping for a new deal soon but he's only concerned with what he can control on the field.

“I’m not here to talk about my contract and that stuff,” Prescott said Saturday. “Talks, I’m sure, at this point are continuously happening. For me, it’s to come out here and focus on this, not be distracted by any of that stuff, any of that conversation, just focus on being better, just being the best player I can be and making sure everyone around me is as well.”

As good as it is to hear Prescott say this, Dallas will still need to work towards getting a deal done. After all, getting your quarterback signed ahead of time can help the franchise.

Elliott and Prescott's situations may be a bit different but both are in need of new deals. Plus, Amari Cooper is entering his final season on his current contract in 2019.

Since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Prescott has been the franchise quarterback of the Cowboys. In his three seasons, Prescott has led the Cowboys to a record of 32-16 and one playoff win.

Earlier this offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles paid Carson Wentz $128 million over four years. It's expected that the Cowboys franchise quarterback will receive a similar deal as his counterpart. Despite needing a new deal, Prescott isn't worried about when it gets done.
