FRISCO - Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys, represented by Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones, continue to work on a contract extension for the red-hot QB - we're now talking about a going rate of $100 million guaranteed. Meanwhile, Charlotte Jones-Anderson would like to supplement the $100 mil with her humorous two cents.

"If he keeps playing like this,'' Charlotte joked today, speaking in Dallas at the NAB radio convention, "he can have all the money he wants!''

I checked in with Charlotte after the remark, and yes, the Cowboys executive VP and Chief Brand Officer was joking ... except, of course, that she increasingly has a point, as Prescott has helped engineer the Cowboys to a 3-0 record as they prepare for a Sunday night showdown at New Orleans. Charlotte's father, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, has for about three weeks said that a deal for his burgeoning star quarterback is "imminent'' -- and has also joked himself that maybe he's stretching the definition of that word.

"Oh, yes, I do know that we'll get it done," Jones has said. "It would probably be fair to say it'll be done on an imminent basis. Imminent. Without being real clear, bright-lined. It's not done. What's imminent? Well, days. Days. Or something like that."

In any event, the Jones family is clearly on the same page, with Jerry telling me (and anybody else who will listen) that Dak is this team's "franchise QB of the present and future.'' 

So Stephen and Jerry and now good-humored Charlotte are pretty much agree. Now they just have to get Prescott to do the same.
