Dallas Cowboys Ditch Dak Prescott, Land Potential 1st Round QB In Crazy Blockbuster Trade Proposal
Despite the fact that we are well into playoff football, with the both the AFC and NFC Championship games less than 24 hours away, and the Super Bowl on the horizon, we have very much entered into mock trade/trade proposal season.
Dak Prescott’s Future Uncertain In Dallas?
After a wild, and perhaps not fully convincing trade sent Tua Tagovailoa to the Denver Broncos last week, this week the trade proposal rumor mills have gone a step further.
Dak Prescott, after another disappointing display in the playoffs, this time in the loss hosting the 7th seed Green Bay Packers, which marked the first time in history that the 7th seed had won a playoff game, does not have his future quite as certain as he might have hoped, especially after owner Jerry Jones threw his support behind head coach, Mike McCarthy.
Could The Dallas Cowboys Seek Out A New Quarterback For America’s Team?
Whilst there is no question that Prescott has performed excellently in the regular season, where the Cowboys have won 12 games in 3 consecutive years, and even went unbeaten at home in 2023, Dak’s post-season’s record does not exactly speak for itself.]
With a 2-5 record in the single elimination tournament; having never proceeded to the Conference Championship game, Dallas ownership may start to pivot from their previously fiercely pro-Dak stance, where just this year he was being talked about as their QB for the ensuing decade.
Now, with one year left on his deal at a massive $59 million cap hit, in addition to $36 million dead cap in the ‘void’ 2025 year – something that will naturally get pushed down the line if Prescott does end up signing an extension, it does not seem 100% certain that Prescott will remain as the Cowboys quarterback beyond his current contract.
What Trade Could Send Dak Prescott Out Of Dallas?
So, whilst it is likely that Dallas opts to keep Prescott for another season with McCarthy to give the pair one final shot, it is also quite possible that Jerry and Stephen Jones decide that Dak is ultimately not sturdy enough in the playoffs and contimplate starting afresh with a young, rookie quarterback in the this year’s draft.
In this scenario between the Chicago Bears, the New England Patriots and the Dallas Cowboys, each team receives the following:
