Dak Prescott's hilarious slip-up about Cowboys future certainly turned heads

Summer break has arrived for the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb still haven't been signed to extensions. The Cowboys are expected to extend Prescott and Lamb at some point before or during training camp. Both deals will reset the quarterback and wide receiver markets, or come close to it.

Despite wanting a new deal, Prescott has kept a cool head throughout the offseason. He has preached both patience and confidence when asked about his future. Prescott is a firm believer that everything off the field will take care of itself as long as he takes care of his business on the field.

In his latest media availability, the 30-year-old was asked about the "urgency" he has entering a contract year. In typical Prescott fashion, he gave a textbook PR answer. However, he had a minor slip-up that he had to walk back to prevent a potential investigation from the NFL.

"This is the urgency you should always have, to be honest," Prescott said. "Maybe guys who wouldn't normally feel it, feel it. I don't mind it. I've been in this position before. I'm a gambling man. I'll gamble on myself and my guys."

Prescott's reaction is the funniest thing you'll see all week.

Dak Prescott had hilarious 'gambling' slip-up while discussing Cowboys future

The NFL has really cracked down on players gambling on games. In April, six players who were suspended indefinitely for gambling were reinstated. Two Lions players -- receivers Jameson Williams and Stanley Berryhill -- were hit with six-game bans at the time and returned in the middle of the season.

These likely won't be the last betting bombshells, but the league's modified gambling policy should help players resist the temptation. It states that a player who wagers on his own team will be suspended at least two years. Meanwhile, players who bet on any NFL game will be levied a one-year suspension.

Prescott is clearly aware of the crackdown. The last thing he and the Cowboys need is a potential fishing expedition from the NFL because of an unfortunately-worded answer. Everyone knows what Prescott meant by "gambling on himself." It's doubtful that commissioner Rodger Goodell and the NFLPA follow up.

Prescott quickly realized those weren't the right words to use. The slip-up went viral and made for a hilarious moment in the media room that won't soon be forgotten.

The All-Pro is undoubtedly betting on himself and his teammates, just not literally.
