Dallas Cowboys Could Make Run At $118 Million, Former Pro Bowl QB

The Dallas Cowboys have several question marks surrounding their plan at the quarterback position for the future.

The Cowboys were rolling again in the 2023 regular season with Dak Prescott — but yet again, with the season on the line and legitimate expectations for a Super Bowl run  — Dak an the Cowboys lost when it mattered the most.

Prescott was in the discussion for NFL MVP this season and closed out arguably the best regular season of his career.

Dak Prescott closed out the 2023 regular season ranked in the top five in several major categories for NFL QB. He entered the playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers with 4,516 yards (3rd), 36 touchdowns (1st), 9 interceptions and a QB rating of 72.5 (2nd).

Although some rolled there eyes when Jerry Jones and company decided to fire Kellen Moore at the end of last season — as he’s regarded as one of the up and coming young and brilliant offensive minds — head coach Mike McCarthy took over play calling and the Dallas Cowboys offense looked elite for the majority of the year.

Finally, Prescott and CeeDee Lamb found the perfect chemistry and emerged as arguably the top QB/WR tandem in the league.

Beyond Dak Prescott and the explosive offense that averaged 389 yards and 30 points per game and finished with 77 touchdowns in the regular season, the Dallas Cowboys had a defense that finished the season ranked 5th in the NFL.

After another disappointing early exit in the playoffs, the Dallas brass entered the offseason with more question marks than answers.

While it’s expected Jerry Jones and company keep Prescott for at least 2024, it’s clear the organization is looking at all options now that the Cowboys have made it public they don’t plan to give their franchise QB a contract extension. Instead, Jones said there’s a mutual agreement for Prescott to play on the final year of his deal, an unexpected and strange move for an organization that needed to free up cap space to add new talent.
