BREAKING: Dallas Cowboys Announce Massive News About Dak Prescott’s Future, Playoff Performance Could Play Major Factor
Many people believe that the Dallas Cowboys are real Super Bowl candidates, and quarterback Dak Prescott has been a key component of their success in 2023. The offensive connection between Mike McCarthy calling plays, the starting signal caller, and CeeDee Lamb solidifying his position as a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver is helping Prescott have one of his greatest seasons in the NFL.
Even though history demonstrates that the Cowboys and Prescott falter in the postseason—they have made it to the playoffs five out of the last seven seasons but have never advanced past the Divisional Round to the NFC Championship game—many NFL analysts think this team is ready for a Super Bowl run to cap off an incredible 2023 campaign.
Dak Prescott ranks in the top five in several major categories for NFL QBs and was the frontrunner for MVP for most of the year. He heads into Sunday’s critical Wilcard Round matchup against the Green Bay Packers with 4,516 yards (3rd), 36 touchdowns (1st), 9 interceptions and a QB rating of 72.5 (2nd). While Prescott’s postseason performance could play a factor in his future, it’s hard to see the Dallas Cowboys moving their starting franchise QB after a prolific regular season, even if Dallas is upset early in the playoffs.
But it’s difficult to ever be sure when Jerry Jones is in charge. There were valid concerns regarding Mike McCarthy’s ability to lead the Cowboys in the future in the event that his squad is unsuccessful in the postseason.
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport stated in early December that Prescott and the Cowboys are anticipated to work out a “rich” contract deal during the offseason. The current deal for the quarterback runs out in 2024.
The Cowboys are heavy home favorites against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, but the team has to sign a new contract with Prescott quickly, according to a rumor that surfaced only hours before kickoff.
According to a piece released by SI Cowboys Insider Mike FIsher, the team has almost certainly locked themselves in with Prescott as its franchise QB.
But with other major key players coming up on contract years, Prescott’s postseason performance this time around could dictate the number on an extension.
In addition to the Jones family’s faith in Dak as a player and leader, the Cowboys have essentially made their bed in terms of Prescott being this team’s centerpiece for the long term. The already-large commitment will, for cap reasons, almost surely lead to another large commitment in order to not only retain the player but also to spread out his money cap-wise so other roster business – new deals for Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb included – can be done.
Prescott is presently a “$40 million APY” player … who is likely to soon be a “$50 or $60 million APY” player – whs
The debate about “whether he is worth it” will be part of this, and it is understandable; is Prescott really a “top QB”? What’s he done to justify a $50 or $60 million salary? Maybe he should accept a discount that is more team-friendly? What’s he done to set in stone the next big move?
If Dak Prescott and company pull off a 7-point upset win, and if they repeat the feat the next week, and if they… then skeptics of the Dallas Cowboys’ dedication will feel more vindicated. You know, but.
While acknowledging that the MVP hype is good, Jones has stated that he wants Prescott to lead the team to a Super Bowl—something the team hasn’t done since they defeated the Steelers 27–17 in 1995. W
Jones remarked, “I just want him to be a part of having the team be a Super Bowl quarterback.” “I haven’t given any thought to him not being our quarterback. Like everyone else, I want him to win the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award. We’re
