The Dallas Cowboys have yet to extend star quarterback Dak Prescott, who’s entering the fourth and final year of a $160 million extension he signed in 2021.
Dak Prescott has no-tag and no-trade clauses in his deal, so he can leave Dallas and test free agency in 2025 if he so desires. But if the Cowboys aren’t willing to commit to No. 4 long-term, Jerry Jones’ best bet would be to trade Prescott now instead of losing him for nothing in free agency.
That wouldn’t be the worst-case scenario for Dallas. Just look at how the Seattle Seahawks fared after trading franchise star and QB Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos in the 2022 offseason:
As good as Prescott is, the amount of potential suitors for him in a possible trade would be limited. All the Super Bowl contenders have a quarterback they’re confident in, and most rebuilding teams have a young signal-caller they want to build around.
