Dak Prescott has not yet signed a long-term contract with the Dallas Cowboys, and Joe Theismann has no idea why. The Cowboys have reportedly offered Prescott a deal that would make him , if not the highest-paid player in league history.Prescott, though, isn’t satisfied.“Dak Prescott’s situation confuses me a bit,” Theismann told JR SportBrief. “If I was advising Dak Prescott, I would say, ‘Take the money.
