In a flurry of quarterback deals this offseason, the Dallas Cowboys opted to keep Dak Prescott untouched. As the 2024 season looms just around the corner, Prescott remains without a new contract.
Amidst speculation, it seems unlikely that a new deal will be finalized before the Cowboys’ season opener against the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 8. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed this to reporters on Wednesday, setting the stage for uncertainty as Prescott addressed the situation on Thursday.
Prescott’s current contract, a four-year, $160 million deal inked in 2021, was once considered a lucrative agreement. However, with the rapid slew of newer quarterback contracts surpassing his, it’s clear that Prescott may be deserving of an upgrade.
After leading the league in touchdown passes with 36 last season, ranking third in passing yards with 4,516, and throwing just nine interceptions, Prescott’s performance speaks volumes. Logically, it would make sense for the Cowboys to engage in negotiations for a new deal. Yet, the team’s current stance on their timeline seems to differ.
Both Prescott and head coach Mike McCarthy are entering their final year, standing on the brink of uncertainty. Their future with the Cowboys hinges on their performance in the upcoming season, intensifying the pressure on the team’s key figures.
As the clock ticks down to the kickoff of the 2024 season, all eyes are on Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys as they navigate the looming contract situation. Will Prescott secure a new deal before the season opener, or will he have to prove his worth on the field to earn his future with the team? Stay tuned as the drama unfolds in Dallas.
