Search PFTPM and subscribe. Boom, done. Thanks for the support. Now, stats. Another hour of the PFT Live podcast. Business is business. It's an important contract for DAC. It's an important contract for all organization. Dak is the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. He's young and he's going to get extended. I'm excited about the opportunity to work with Dak. I've always been impressed with him.

0:40.6

Are you a $40 million quarterback?

0:42.6

You tell me. It happens when it happens.

0:44.6

What's going to be better? Signing a new contract or not having to answer questions about getting a new contract?

0:49.6

I'd probably sign a contract. Yeah.

Dak Prescott. One of these days, Shireen, he's going to sign a new contract. We think. We think. I still think there's a chance he goes year to year under the franchise tag. That is one possibility. But we just don't know. And here we are. And the fact that he has yet to sign a contract just underscores to me how different he is than other
