Contract Report:Cowboys finally reached an agreement to let star QB leave after…

It appears unlikely that Dak Prescott will secure the record-breaking contract extension he had been anticipating from the Dallas Cowboys this offseason. The team’s owner, Jerry Jones, and his associates seem content with Prescott playing out the final year of his contract and entering free agency next year, despite the risks involved since they cannot use the franchise tag on him.

In light of this, a recent report suggests that the Cowboys are unexpectedly considering drafting a quarterback in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, adding an intriguing layer to Prescott’s relationship with the team. At 31 years old, Prescott is poised to have a substantial impact on next season’s salary cap with a staggering $55.46 million.

The failure to reach a contract extension with Prescott before NFL free agency left the Cowboys unable to bolster their roster with top-tier talent following their disappointing playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers in January. This raises questions about Dallas’ commitment to Prescott as their long-term quarterback, as securing his extension earlier would have facilitated the addition of talent around him. Consequently, speculation arises regarding a potential split between Prescott and the Cowboys after the 2024 NFL season, with some prominent figures considering it a real possibility.
