Dak Prescott’s Future with the Cowboys Remains Uncertain as 2024 Season Kicks Off
As the Dallas Cowboys turn their focus to the 2024 season, a critical year awaits. Despite three consecutive 12-win seasons, the team has yet to make it to an NFC Championship Game, raising questions about their coaching staff’s future. Dak Prescott has delivered impressive performances as the Cowboys’ QB1, and he believes he’s earned a spot among the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks. However, that payday might come from a different team.
Speculation grew that the Cowboys and Prescott had given up on contract negotiations before the regular season. But in a surprising twist, there’s now a “small chance” a deal could still happen, just hours before Dallas faces Cleveland in Week 1. If they aim to finalize an agreement before Sunday’s 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, they’ll need to move quickly.
While Week 1 isn’t technically a deadline, the timing could force both sides to treat it as one. If no deal is reached, Prescott will become an unrestricted free agent after 2024, making it difficult for Dallas to retain him. In the meantime, Prescott will likely receive offers from quarterback-needy teams with cap space, setting up a potential bidding war.
With reports emerging just before the 2024 season opener, it’s clear that Prescott’s future in Dallas is far from certain.
