Game week is here; Are Dak & the Cowboys any closer to an extension?
We've finally reached the beginning of the 2024 NFL season, but that glorious feeling is dampened a bit by the fact that Dak Prescott & the Cowboys still don't have a contract extension worked out. Shan & RJ go Inside The Star to discuss if the team & player are any closer to hammering out a deal, plus go over some Mike Zimmer quotes on how his time in Minnesota inspires him as a coach.

00:00In which many people think it's do or DAC, DAC or die, however you want to phrase it,
00:21for the Cowboys to pay their quarterback before the season begins.
00:25Got till Sunday. Sunday at three something is probably your end date for that one.
00:30What a great week, in my opinion, for Dak Prescott. Just able to sit back,
00:34relax, and wait for the phone to ring because you got them by the short ones.
00:39You do. Oh, there's no doubt. You got them right there, right where you want them.
00:43And they may or may not bite on it. You know, it all depends on...
00:49You know, we was at the Florio last week and, you know, he's like, unless the Cowboys know...
00:56I'm throwing this one out there, right? He's already... I love the lawyer in him where he
01:00just throws up the collusion word because he loves to throw the collusion word. But he's like,
01:03you know, let's say no, the whole league is going to collude against it because,
01:06you know, the NFL does not want. You know, the NFL owners do not want a true free agent quarterback
01:12in their prime. They do not want that on the open market.
01:15Well, some are calling this the biggest free agent quarterback ever. And I was like,
01:19that would be Peyton Manning. Yeah, the only thing with Peyton is that
01:23he was coming off the injury. Nobody really knew how he was going to play. They just assumed.
01:26Yeah. They just assumed. He was a free agent, right? It wasn't a trade.
01:29No, he was a free agent. They released him in Indy and he went on that tour.
01:36Was Tom free? Tom was...
01:41I think he was... Yeah, he was a free agent. Yeah, he was a free agent too. But again,
01:45that was the end of the prime. But yeah, I mean, Dak is in his prime and, you know,
01:50Manning was kind of at the end of his prime, but that's also the injury.
01:53That just disgusts though Dak haters and overall NFL fans to say that Dak Prescott
01:59would be the biggest free agent ever. People, that's not said. It doesn't settle right with
02:03people. It doesn't. I mean, I get it. I understand. It's just an in your prime quarterback. It's an
02:09in your prime, very good quarterback who just finished second in the MVP.
02:13Absolutely. That's exactly what it is. And he is at the peak of his career. Like this is the
02:18peak of his career. Last year was his best year ever, I believe. Now you could say that his
02:24certain things were better in other years, but I thought he put it all together last year and he
02:28was phenomenal. So this would be a huge, huge moment for the NFL if Dak gets the free agency.
