Dallas' season kicks off at home against the New York Giants at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday, so the Cowboys will be hoping that Prescott's deal can be wrapped up before then.
The Cowboys just recently locked up Ezekiel Elliott on a six-year extension worth $90 million in new money. That deal came on the heels of La'el Collins' five-year extension.
