Seahawks a Top Landing Spot for New $160 Million Star QB
The Seattle Seahawks are being labeled as a potential landing spot for Dak Prescott amid his current contract standoff with the Dallas Cowboys. CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin lists the Seahawks just behind the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams as franchises that make the most sense for Prescott.
“Seattle clearly went for new backup Sam Howell because of his long-term upside, knowing incumbent No. 1 Geno Smith may or may not stick around for the long haul,” Benjamin wrote in a March 26, 2024 story titled, “Dak Prescott could play out contract year: What it means, plus five early 2025 landing spots for Cowboys QB.” “GM John Schneider also isn’t necessarily primed to land a top prospect in the draft picking No. 16 overall.
“But with neither Smith nor Howell a sure thing beyond 2024, odds are Seattle will be exploring the quarterback market again next offseason. If new coach Mike Macdonald has the defense back on track, a team-up with Prescott could be appealing to both sides, especially if weapons like DK Metcalf are still at top speed.”
Cowboys Rumors: Dak Prescott Could Hit NFL Free Agency in 2025
Prescott is heading into the final season of a four-year, $160 million contract. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Cowboys are prepared to let Prescott play on the final season of his current deal without an extension.
