Dallas Cowboys are expected to replace Dak Prescott with a dual-threat…..
The Dallas Cowboys may be approaching their final season with Dak Prescott as the franchise quarterback. So far, Jerry Jones has stated that he intends to let Prescott play out the final year of his current contract, leaving the team with limited funds to pay other players because the Dallas signal caller will receive so much of this year’s salary cap money.
Many assumed that extending Prescott this offseason would be a no-brainer option, allowing the Cowboys to free up space and fill roster deficiencies that would aid in a true Super Bowl bid.
Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys’ owner for nearly 40 years, has never parted ways with a franchise-level quarterback in his prime. Troy Aikman remained here until his retirement, and Tony Romo was only fired because Prescott emerged as the franchise’s starting quarterback during his injury absence.
Dak Prescott understands he may easily earn $50 million or more on his next NFL contract. If the Dallas Cowboys are unwilling to pay it, another QB-needy team (the Las Vegas Raiders, perhaps?) will gladly do so.
Prescott has struggled in the postseason (with a 2-5 record), but teams will gladly pay top bucks for a quarterback who consistently produces top-10 statistics. While the recent narrative has been that both Jones and Prescott are content to let the last year of the contract play out and move on, ESPN Insider Jeremy Fowler claims the Cowboys really want to extend their franchise quarterback but have been hesitant for a very particular reason.
On “SportsCenter,” Fowler stated that contract discussions are “complicated because” Prescott carries a $61 million cap for the 2024 season.
Dallas Cowboys expected to replace Dak Prescott with Colorado Superstar Shedeur Sanders.
Despite finishing the season in the MVP conversation, Prescott and the Cowboys could split ways after 2025.
According to Ian Cummings of the Pro Football Network, Colorado Buffaloes star quarterback Shedeur Sanders will go to the Cowboys at No. 24 in the 2025 NFL mock draft. “There’s a reasonable outcome where Dak Prescott isn’t the Dallas Cowboys’ QB in 2025,” Cummings wrote in a May 25, 2024 post, Ian Cummings’ 2025 NFL Mock Draft:
Shedeur Sanders joins the Dallas Cowboys, while Luther Burden III collaborates with Bryce Young. “Dallas might stick with Trey Lance, but there may also be an opportunity to start again with a quarterback from the 2025 class. Shedeur Sanders, the son of team legend Deion Sanders, is one option. “Sanders is a fringe top-100 prospect on my board heading into the year, but he has the arm talent and accuracy to advance.
