Dallas Cowboys Fans Call For Jerry Jones To Sell The Team After Dismal Start To The Offseason…

As the Dallas Cowboys not-so-quietly wait to extend quarterback Dak Prescott, the likelihood of 2024 being his final season in Frisco continues to grow.

 

Owner Jerry Jones claims to be “all in,” but the roster is markedly worse on paper, even with corner Trevon Diggs returning from injury. Prescott will return to an offense without last year’s starting left tackle and center – the former being a future Hall of Famer – and there’s no guarantee the team upgrades at running back or receiver.

David Moore of the Dallas Morning News stated Prescott has earned $2.7 million dollars in his four years with the organization, but it’s a little more than that. The quarterback earned a performance escalator for 2019, making his total earnings just over $4 million.

 

While contracts are built to pay players for future performance, the fact Prescott played in 2019 for pennies on the dollar of what his fellow draft class mates made is a very solid argument for why his deal should surpass theirs.

Putting Prescott in this position, choosing not to prioritize him despite his outsized impact, is reason enough for him to leave. So much of this conversation has been focused on what Dallas would do in this doomsday scenario. But if Prescott hits the open market, some other team is going to consider themselves very lucky.

Currently, New England holds the No. 3 pick after another year of post-Tom Brady irrelevance. Mac Jones fell mightily after a strong rookie season and seemingly every other offensive experiment did not pan out. As such, they are widely expected to draft one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL Draft – presumably one of UNC’s Drake Maye, LSU’s Jayden Daniels, or Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy. They may pivot to blue-chip receiver prospect Marvin Harrison Jr., too, kicking the quarterback can down the road.
