Adam Schefter provides update on Dak Prescott’s situation with the Dallas Cowboys.
Dak Prescott’s offseason has kept him in the spotlight, with one NFL Insider suggesting he should capitalize on his situation alongside his agent, Todd France. Jerry Jones finds himself entangled in a contractual quagmire largely of his own making from 2021 onward.
Having utilized consecutive franchise tags on Prescott in 2020 and 2021, the Cowboys eventually secured him with a lucrative four-year contract worth up to $160 million, boasting $126 million in guarantees. However, this deal, signed in 2021, furnished Prescott with leverage that limits Dallas’ options going forward: they cannot franchise tag him again or trade him.
Prescott’s stance during negotiations seems focused more on securing a competitive contract rather than solely on financial gains, although his current leverage places him in a prime position to reshape the quarterback market with a potential annual salary of $60 million.
Despite some suggesting Prescott should prioritize loyalty to the Cowboys over financial gains, NFL Insider Adam Schefter dismisses the notion of Prescott offering any discount, emphasizing the unparalleled leverage he currently holds. Schefter contends that Prescott would be unwise to relinquish any leverage, particularly given his potential to redefine the quarterback market post-season if a deal with Dallas isn’t reached.
