What could compel the Dallas Cowboys to jettison Dak Prescott and rebuild drastically?
Dallas Cowboys Extend Dak Prescott's Contract, Securing Future at QB
The Dallas Cowboys have solidified their future at the quarterback position, signing Dak Prescott to a four-year, $240 million contract extension in 2024. The deal, which expires after the 2028 season, comes with an average annual value of $60 million, making Prescott the highest-paid player in NFL history.
The contract includes a substantial $231 million guaranteed and an $80 million signing bonus. With Prescott's age at 32 and a significant injury in the previous season, the Cowboys have shown their faith in their star quarterback, who views himself as their quarterback and vice versa.
The roster for the Cowboys includes Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens, with Lamb secured long-term as Prescott's top receiver and Pickens acquired this offseason. The Cowboys have also shown a consistent focus on addressing the offensive line in the draft.
The Cowboys' rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles, hoisted the Lombardi Trophy in the previous season, and the Cowboys' 2025 season opener will be against them. The Cowboys have not been the only NFC East team to appear in the NFC title game recently, with the Washington Commanders also making an appearance.
Jerry Jones, the Cowboys' owner, has shown a knack for staying in the spotlight, and the Cowboys' roster and contract negotiations are likely to be discussed regardless of their win-loss record. However, Jones' patience might wear thin if the Cowboys have a rocky start, as evidenced by the situation with Micah Parsons.
Despite the possibility of competition from promising backups and new players, the likelihood of Jerry Jones having to find a new employer for Dak Prescott after next year seems low. Prescott's contract includes $40 million in guaranteed money for the next year, and the guarantees in the contract roll out a year early, with $45 million becoming guaranteed in 2027.
As Jones, who is 82 years old, looks to make significant moves, the Cowboys have also been speculated to have interest in college quarterback Arch Manning. However, with Prescott still the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, the possibility of a change seems remote for the time being.
