Stephen Jones - English
After a long negotiation that dragged on into the start of the 2024 season, Dak Prescott closed his second mega-contract with the Dallas Cowboys, which will pay him $240 million over four years, with $231 million guaranteed.
The deal came after the Cowboys paid another market-leading contract extension to wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, for $136 million over four years.
Josh Allen had some words for Dak Prescott after signing huge contract extension
Once again, Dallas is embroiled in lengthy contract negotiations with a local star. Linebacker Micah Parsons is about to sign a deal that will likely put him in the running to become the highest-paid defender in NFL history.
Stephen Jones and his team negotiation strategy
Other teams look to lock up similar players early; a notable example is the Cowboys‘ division rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles, who just won the Super Bowl with perhaps the most talented roster in the NFL.
Others in the league have taken note, such as Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals (whose team had significant internal issues to resolve this preseason), who has openly asked his team to do the same.
The Baltimore Ravens have indicated that they plan to follow the example of the Buffalo Bills by extending the contract of quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Dallas co-owner Stephen Jones, son of Jerry Jones, was asked about the team’s negotiating strategy and said he is not concerned about the team’s tendency to wait.
“We’ve done early negotiations before, and we’ve waited until the end to do it,” Jones said, according to ESPN. “A lot of the problem is the negotiation itself. Some take longer than others. And we don’t give any credence to those who say it’s too long to wait.”
Ultimately, it takes two parties to reach an early agreement, and some players may choose to bet on themselves and try to cash in on their earning potential. However, other teams seem to have found a way to keep their core together without jeopardizing their future salary cap situation.

Warriors spark LeBron James buzz while navigating tricky offseason
The Golden State Warriors entered the offseason with aspirations of bolstering their roster to extend their championship window. However, their efforts to acquire marquee talents have been met with resistance, and internal contract disputes threaten to derail their plans.The ongoing contract standoff with Jonathan Kuminga has effectively frozen the team's summer plans.Despite the lack of roster activity, speculation has swirled around Golden State and a potential blockbuster trade for Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. On August 22, the rumors surged again after NBA Insider Jake Fischer highlighted the Warriors' continued interest in James.Lakers insider Jovan Buha, however, believes the chatter may be strategic.

No Mundial do Rio de Janeiro, a ginástica rítmica do Brasil colhe os frutos de um trabalho de décadas
Alguns esportes escapam à minha compreensão — não pela complexidade das regras, e sim por uma dúvida ainda mais básica: como é possível fazer aquilo? Lógico que esse raciocínio poderia ser aplicado a qualquer atleta de elite. Já vi Usain Bolt, Daniel Dias e Simone Biles realizarem façanhas inimagináveis para o ser humano comum, mas partindo de habilidades que temos ou somos capazes de aprender (correr, nadar, saltar) e levando-as ao extremo. Já a ginástica rítmica é outra história. Mesmo quando as próprias praticantes tentam me explicar que oito horas diárias de treino desde a infância são suficientes para aprender a combinar as trajetórias de fitas, bolas, arcos e maças com os movimentos de seus corpos, me sinto olhando para elas como um meme da Nazareth confusa. A sorte é que não preciso entender por que e=mc2 para apreciar a […]
NFL Preseason Week 3 Recap: Buffalo Bills 23, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19
As the Bills seek to bolster their defense in 2025, they received encouraging contributions from potentially emerging players in their preseason finale, a 23-19 win over the Buccaneers. Fourth-round pick Deone Walker continued his impressive August, amassing three pressures and a 33.3% pass-rush win rate on 12 pass-rushing snaps. Also, corner Dane Jackson permitted just two catches on his four targets, letting up seven yards and forcing an incompletion in the process. Although this contest didn't feature either Josh Allen or Baker Mayfield, the two sides combined for 616 total yards and 14 explosive plays. Tampa receiver Tez Johnson and Buffalo running back Frank Gore Jr. each secured a 15-plus-yard reception of their own as they fight for roster spots. PFF's dedicated team of graders was hard at work, analyzing every player on every play in real time. The comprehensive […]
