One of the bigger stories in the NFL right now surrounds Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. The superstar quarterback is coming to the end of his rookie contract.

Obviously, he's in line for a shiny new massive deal. That's something Prescott and the Cowboys can agree upon.

However, it appears they aren't agreeing on anything else. This “deal” has been getting talked about for over a year now. And it seems like the two sides aren't much closer.

It's long been known that Prescott wants big time money. While the Cowboys are willing to pay a lot, apparently they aren't willing to pay that much.

And now people are weighing in on the situation. That includes a Cowboys rival. According to JRSportsBrief of CBSsportsradio.com, the Washington Redskins' legendary quarterback Joe Theismann doesn't really agree with everything Prescott is doing.

“Dak Prescott’s situation confuses me a bit,” Theismann said on CBS Sports Radio earlier this week. “If I was advising Dak Prescott, I would say, ‘Take the money. The aggravation to go through, the unknowns if you happen to go through a year, the free agency – yes, they’ve committed a lot of money to Amari [Cooper]. Yes, they’ve committed a lot of money to Zeke. But that’s a lot of money. What are you looking for? Another couple million? You’re never going to see the last year of this contract anyway.’”

To be fair, Theismann makes a few good points. Holding out for that few extra million could end up costing Prescott in the end with the Cowboys. Even more true, Prescott likely won't see the end of this deal anyways.

Before the contract is over, it's likely the quarterback will agree to an extension with the Cowboys to make even more money. So he won't even see the money he's fighting for right now anyways.

Then again, on Prescott's side, why not see how much you can get from the Cowboys? There is no guarantee that another big contract will be coming his way. So get all the money you can now. Especially considering this would be his first big money deal. It's not like he's already racked up a bunch of them.

There are arguments for both sides. Which is likely why they've been at a stalemate for so long. Even with that though, expect Prescott and the Cowboys to work something out.
