Entering the final year of his four-year, $160 million deal amid extension negotiations, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said on Thursday that he hopes to stay in Dallas but left the door open for a potential departure down the road.

“You know, I’m going to say it: I want to be here, but you know when you look up all the great quarterbacks I’ve watched, they’ve played for other teams,” the 30-year-old veteran told reporters on the first day of training camp. “So my point in saying that is that that’s not something to fear. That may be a reality for me one day. It may not be my decision.”

At his own training camp press conference on Thursday, team owner and general manager Jerry Jones stated his belief that the Cowboys would re-sign Prescott — the 2023 NFL MVP runner-up — to a long-term deal.

“I do not think that this will be his last year with the Cowboys, at all,” Jones told reporters.

Coming off a season in which he led the NFL with 410 completions and 36 touchdown passes, Prescott called the negotiations a “two-way street.”

“They have wants, I have wants,” the three-time Pro Bowler said. “This is a business and obviously I want to be here. Talking about growing up … this is where I became a man, but at the end of the day, it’s a business.”

Prescott owns a 73-41 record as the Cowboys’ starting quarterback since 2016. He has completed 67 percent of his passes for 29,459 yards with 202 touchdowns and 74 interceptions. He is 2-5 in the playoffs.
