Shannon Sharpe appeared on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast this week with former NFL MVP Cam Newton to discuss Dak Prescott's contract situation and compare it to former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. did.
Newton began by offering his thoughts on why the Cowboys didn't make the NFL playoffs with Prescott.
“This message is for Dak Prescott, we're looking for it. [expletive] I don't think Jerry Jones will let him become a dog. “I mean, he has to be politically correct and he almost has to be the president of football to be the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys,” Newton said.
Newton and Sharpe agreed that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants to win his way, and said that's what's holding Prescott back from going to the next level.
Sharpe then compared Tony Romo to Dak Prescott when discussing why Prescott has not yet received a new NFL contract with Newton's consent.
“I know guys who played quarterback and didn't win as much. “Dak probably won more playoff games than he did and didn't have to worry about contact,” Sharp said. . No first-team All-Pros, no second-team All-Pros. He never had to worry about contact. ”
Romo played 14 seasons in the NFL, was selected to the Pro Bowl four times and was a second-team All-Pro. Prescott made three Pro Bowl appearances in eight seasons, was named the 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and was named second-team All-Pro, but he also failed to lead the Cowboys past the divisional round.
Prescott has not yet received a long-term contract extension from the Cowboys, and the team's other stars, Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb, also did not receive extensions during the offseason.
