The Dallas Cowboys are confident they are going to get a deal done with Dak Prescott. It appears at this point it's just a matter of time until a long team deal is agreed upon.

There was some who believed that when the team signed Andy Dalton it would be an excuse to not get a deal done, but Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones wants to make it clear that will have no impact on the team signing him to a long term deal.

“Obviously, it has no bearing on Dak,” Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said Wednesday on 105.3 The Fan, via ESPN’s Ed Werder. “Dak is the quarterback of our franchise now, and for many years to come. We’ve gotta get his contract—we’ve gotta get over that hurdle. But we’ll do it, it’ll ultimately get done.”

Stephen Jones seems really sold on a long term deal getting done, but for some reason the deal still hasn't happened. All the talk has been about it getting done, but there haven't been many rumors about how far or close the two sides are actually to a deal.

Jones comments did echo what he had said earlier about a deal getting done at the right price.

We believe in our track record of getting players signed. I totally believe we’ll get Dak signed at the right number that’s good for Dak, good for the Cowboys, good for this team.

Hopefully a deal can get done this offseason or this will be the talking point all through the season and heading into next offseason for the Cowboys.
