1
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: It was a bit everybody, I'm Will Silva and these

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: are your good morning football headlines from NFL Network. In

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: a day that had been years in the making, Dak

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Prescott finally finally neard of Fisher when he signed his

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: new four year contract with the Cowboys yesterday, worth up

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: to one hundred and sixty million dollars. That contract also

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: includes a sixty six million dollars signing bonus, the largest

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: in NFL history. However, leading up to this moment was

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: speculation that Dak would have to play another year under

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: the franchise tag, or perhaps even for another team. When

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: Dak spoke with reporters after inking the new deal, leaving

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: was never an option. I grew up a Dallas Cowboy fan.

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: Never in a million years that I imagine not being

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: a Cowboy once I put on this uniform and put

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: on the star. So through it all, through the two years,

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: I guess you can say or more, there was never

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: a slight doubt in my mind that I wouldn't wear

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: the star for the rest of my life. Now, while

19
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: Cowboy fans had been left wondering who would be starting

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: under center in Dallas in twenty twenty one and beyond

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys order, Jerry Joe Is saying that he knew all

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: along that would be Prescott. There was never a question

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: that it was going to be back, and there was

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: never a question that we were for that, for that

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: person or that quality of individual, for what we are doing,

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: that he was the guy. Never a question. And I

27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: will tell you this, if there is a human breathing

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: that I've ever met that I'm proud that took advantage

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: of me. Financially, I'm proud it. Swan sitting to the right,

30
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: Thank Jones was a great sound bite there. Another team

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: that has been rumored to make a change at QB

32
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: are the Panthers, who scient Teddy Bridgewater to a three

33
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: year deal last offseason. Second year head coach Matt Rule

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: telling reporters yesterday that he's heard the rumors, but Teddy

35
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: is still our quarterback and that nothing has changed just

36
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: the start of the off season. Also, where several other

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: teams are making changes now that the salary cap is

38
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: officially set at one hundred and eighty two and a

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: half million dollars for twenty twenty one, and unfortunately those

40
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: changes are in the form of roster cuts. New Orleans

41
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,120

42
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,640
