Will Dak Throw His Last Pick For Dallas in 2024?

[Iggloo]

It appears Dallas may be reaching the end of the road with Dak Prescott, as news emerges that the team is in no hurry to redo his deal as he enters a contract year.

Dak Prescott update casts doubt on his future with the Cowboys

The Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott have made no progress on a contract extension. Does this mean he's entering his final season in Dallas?

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott expected to play on current contract for 2024 season

The Cowboys and Dak Prescott are prepared to play out the final year of the quarterback’s contract. The two sides have a mutual understanding that there will be no adjustment to his contract entering the 2024 season.

Jerry Jones insists he believes in Dak Prescott, but QB's long-term future in doubt

Prescott, who has a $55.5 million cap hit for 2024, hasn't reached agreement on a long-term deal.

Now, it's hard to read too much into this situation because Dallas does not appear to be in a hurry to sign anyone these days. Their free agency is about as one-way as California to Texas U-haul traffic.

But...it seems Jerry Jones and what passes for a brain trust in Big D has finally realized that, well, Dak ain't it. He's like Tony Romo, a guy who puts up some decent stats in the regular season, but just isn't built for real combat.

In general it seems Dallas has decided to treat the upcoming season like the start of a rebuilding campaign. Which...may be wise IMO. I hope Dak can throw us a few picks in his final season before signing with the Raiders or Panthers or whatever third-tier franchise he ends up with next, just for old times' sake!

I don't care, iggloo

I actually think it is interesting and revealing that they would rather take a $55 million cap hit this year, and essentially tank their season and free agency, because they want to just wipe the slate clean and not prolong Dak's contract. Jerry must have sobered up one morning and come to his senses.

Anything going on with the Eagles?

Anything going on with the Eagles?

Added the most naturally gifted runningback in the league.

Added a big athletic linebacker for the first time in two decades.

Pretty exciting stuff.

Dak's not good. Finally even the cowboys can see it.

I look forward to seeing Dak in Giants blue next year.

The Boys are so screwed. Jerry made it clear they were all in last year and will go as far as Dak takes them. After the season ended he made it clear how they felt. So they go one more year and then a complete rebuild because you can't win without a QB.

Dak isn’t the issue in Dallas, Jerry is. Dak is a pretty good QB, not elite but not bad, and the Cowboys struggles in the playoffs started long before Dak was their QB. As long as Jerry is overly involved with the roster and with the team as a whole, the Cowboys will not be winning a Super Bowl.

It’s amazing to me how some people are so quick to call QBs bad when they disappoint in the postseason or have a couple of off games. Look at the QB play of my Falcons last year if you want to see bad QB play.

I just like to make fun of Dak to troll Cowboys fans. The reality is that he is a top 10 Qb and you are better off having a guy like that than not in the NFL. They're not easy to find.

Jerry is and has been the problem for three decades. The evidence could not be clearer.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Dak is a low priority for them right now because their focus is on negotiations with Micah and CeeDee and making sure they are locked up. I won't be surprised if there's something done after the season with Dak. They aren't moving on from him, in all likelihood unless they miraculously have another late rounder fall into their lap like they did when they drafted him. These outrageous QB pay scales are the real problem. It's gotten so out of hand and getting worse every year. When 30 mil per year has become a bargain, it's a problem.

 

[fastforward]

I expect Prescott to sign an extension with the Cowboys before Week 1 of the 2024 season. Maintaining the status quo is in both party's interests.

In other Eagles news the Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl since the 90s, 10260+ days. I don't have an exact figure, because i'm not an Eagles fan.

 

[cincygrad]

Aside from being given the highest contract in the league, there would be almost no incentive for Dak to sign a deal. He's taking home a big chunk of change for this year and he will receive a huge deal with a new team next year. What about injury? Well, the Falcons just gave a mid-30s Cousins a huge bag for all of his mediocracy and a repaired achilles. Dak is going to get paid next year.... And if the Cowboys don't think he's the guy to win a championship, they should walk away.

Sure, but would you pay top of the market to keep Dak? $60M+ per?

Do they need to? Maybe he's worth $60M in March 2025 if he's healthy, he's had a good 2024, and the cap goes up 10%+ again. He's worth more than Cousins so maybe he's worth $53M right now. Goff and Tagovailoa are also in contract years. Multiple agents and GMs will be figuring the market out in July. I think Prescott will get more per year than those other 2 QBs, but not a huge amount more.

I don't see any way he agrees to an extension now that isn't top of the position. Why should he?
