FRISCO, Texas >> Dak Prescott has his No. 1 receiver back, and a plea from CeeDee Lamb for the Dallas Cowboys to get his quarterback signed beyond this season as well.

The $136 million, four-year contract that ended Lamb’s long holdout also begged the obvious question of whether Prescott was next, with last season’s MVP runner-up entering the final year of his deal.

“Not really sure,” Prescott said Thursday, 10 days before the Sept. 8 opener at Cleveland. “Not my focus anymore to be honest with you. Really can’t say ever was really my focus. It’s about making myself and this team better, getting us in the best position and the most confident to go up to Cleveland and start the season off with a win.”

Holding out was never a consideration for Prescott, who can control where he would be traded and can’t have the franchise tag placed on him if his $160 million, four-year contract ends without a new agreement.

Asked if he would prefer an agreement be reached before the season, Prescott said, “I think it says a lot if it is or if it isn’t.”
