The Cowboys made a long-term commitment to quarterback Dak Prescott last March by signing him to a four-year extension, as they should have, he's proven to be worth the investment.

Prescott recently spoke with Peter King of NBC Sports and relayed that he'd like to play another 10 seasons. While that's exactly what any franchise would want to hear from their top signal-caller,  Prescott is approaching this season with tunnel vision and a single-minded focus.

“I don’t want to get ahead of myself. What’s important is right now, me and this training camp, this season," said Prescott. "I just want to focus on that and make sure all my energy is there.”

Dallas took some hits to their roster during the offseason. Wide receiver Amari Cooper, defensive end Randy Gregory, and right tackle La'el Collins all have new teams. The Cowboys did add veteran help in the form of linebacker Anthony Barr, defensive end Dante Fowler, and wide receiver James Washington, giving them much-needed depth.

There's been an infusion of promising young talent as well in Dallas. Third-round pick Jalen Tolbert, and fifth-round pick DaRon Bland, are showing that they will be valuable additions to the wide receiver and cornerback rooms with their work during training camp. Also, undrafted free agent, Markquese Bell, already has Cowboys' defensive coordinator Dan Quinn putting together ways to get him on the field in a hybrid safety-linebacker role.

Every season is different and roster turnover can be a challenging thing to overcome. However, Prescott is confident in what the Cowboys will do in 2022.

"I'm very, very optimistic," Prescott told Peter King. "Because of the team we had last year, and because of what we went through, the way they have handled it moving forward, I think we're in a better position than we were last year. And I know some guys have left and went to other teams, but that's the nature of this business. What we have built here, the core, the leaders, mixed with a great group of young guys who are hungry to make name for themselves get into this league running, I feel very, very confident about where we are and excited about where we are. I'm just ready to keep building and get this thing rolling."

Life hasn't been too kind to the Cowboys when it comes to the wide receiver position lately. Michael Gallup will miss time to begin the season as he continues to rehab from a torn ACL, and Washington is out for 6-10 weeks with a fractured foot. Not to mention, Lamb and Noah Brown missed practice this week with toe and foot injuries but neither are serious.

There's no doubt that the Cowboys' receiving corp has little experience outside of Lamb and Brown, but Prescott sees it as a chance for others to rise to the occasion.

“I don’t necessarily get frustrated,” said Prescott. “That’s what this is about, this is exactly about that time to work and make other guys step up and take advantage of their opportunities.”

Prescott likely won't play much if at all during the preseason so training camp is where he'll continue to build chemistry with the Cowboys' inexperienced crop of receivers, which will work wonders if any of their names are called upon until the unit is completely healthy.
