Prescott is heading into to a pivotal season and there's been a lot of Buzz about whether or not he'll get a new contract before the Cowboys take the field just last week Dak mentioned that if a deal doesn't get done before the season starts it could be pretty telling however in a recent interview Dak seems to have changed his tone a bit he admitted that while he's no longer focused on that specific deadline he believes there could still be some benefit to getting a deal done sooner rather than later now Cowboys Nation we want to hear from you do you think the Cowboys will lock Dak into a new contract before the season kicks off drop your thoughts in the comments below and let's get the conversation started plus we've got a community pull up so make sure you cast your vote on what you think Dallas should do next Dak did say something really interesting though he mentioned that getting the contract done might help eliminate any distractions not just for himself but for the entire team he's all about staying and focusing on the task at hand but he understands that not everyone can tune out the noise as well as he can that said Dak isn't the only cowboy in a contract year veterans like Zach Martin Demarcus Lawrence and Brandon Cooks are all in similar situations as are younger players like Osa OD Giza and Jordan Lewis and this is where it gets really interesting Dak said that knowing so many of his teammates are in the same boat could actually bring the team closer together he talked about how this shared experience makes it easier for everyone to lock in wrap their arms around each other and take responsibility for the team's success what do you think Cowboys Nation is this contracte energy going to fuel the Cowboys to a deep play off run let us know in the comments now when it comes to his contract Dak is taking a pretty calm approach he knows the front office Todd France Steven Jones and the rest of the team is working hard hard on the deal but he's not stressing about it he's not putting any specific timeline on it either whether it happens now or later Dak is committed to his goal winning a Super Bowl in Dallas that's right Cowboys fans Dak said that winning a Super Bowl anywhere else just wouldn't be the same as winning it here in Dallas and honestly I think we can all agree with that right Dak has been the face of this franchise for years and bringing home a Lombardi Trophy would cement his legacy as the quarterback who finally got the Cowboys over the hump but I want to throw this back to you guys what do you think dax's motivation is to stay in Dallas is it all about the Super Bowl or is there more to it share your thoughts in the comments and don't forget to give this video a thumbs up if you're enjoying the content so far now let's talk about the locker room Dynamic with so many players hitting into contract years there's a sense of camaraderie building within the team Dak mentioned that when you look around and see so many guys in the same situation it makes it easier to stay focused and motivated this could be huge for the Cowboys this season that team first mentality and shared responsibility could be just what they need to push through the challenges of a tough NFL season and speaking of challenges head coach Mike McCarthy has been preaching a message that really resonates with deak rooted this message is all about being grounded in Who You Are are and where you come from Dak connected it to his own Roots his family his love for the game and his deep connection to the Cowboys he said it's why he plays football why he loves this game for Dak being rooted in Dallas isn't just about football it's personal so Cowboys fans let's hear from you how do you feel about dak's rooted mentality do you think that mindset is going to help him lead the Cowboys to success this year Dr your answers in the comments and let's get a discussion going as we gear up for the season opener there's no doubt that Dak Prescott is laser focused on one thing winning whether or not his contract gets done before Sunday he's ready to take the field and prove why he's the right guy to lead this team the ultimate goal is clear bring a Super Bowl to Dallas Dak Prescott is entering a crucial season and his contract talks with the team are officially in uncharted waters rarely does a quarterback of dak's caliber especially at his age approach free agency without a deal in place Dak is coming off a career year in 2023 and yet here we are in 2024 with no long-term deal locked down for the future so what's going on why is this happening let's break it all down first off Prescott was ranked ninth in Mike Sand's 2024 quarterback tiers a ranking system based on opinions from execu Ives and coaches around the league Dak will turn 32 years old next year and there's no sign of his game slowing down of course injuries can always play a factor but unless he suffers a rare injury that affects his throwing ability Prescott is expected to continue playing at a high level this is where things get really interesting Dak Prescott is heading into free agency at a point in his career when quarterbacks don't typically hit the open market the Cowboys have been negotiating with deck since 2019 and after a long back and forth Prescott signed a 4-year $160 million extension in 2020 with $126 million guaranteed but here's where his representation athletes first pulled a smart move they forced the Cowboys to use a second franchise tag on Deck even though they were working on a deal if Dallas tries to tag Dak for a third time it would trigger a massive salary increase with 44% of his previous cap hit making it virtually impossible to keep him without a huge financial commitment but despite all of this Jerry Jones and the Cowboys haven't pulled the trigger on an extension this offseason why not well Cowboys fans this is where things get complicated Dak has all the leverage he knows that if he hits free agency next year he'll likely become the highest paid player in the league a former general manager even told the athletic that Prescott wouldn't sign a new deal unless it's a crazy offer the thinking is that if Dak Prescott Waits until next year he could be looking at a deal worth $60 million per year or more let me pause here and ask you guys do you think Dak Prescott is worth $60 million per year should Jerry Jones pay up or should the Cowboys look for another option let me know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to give this video a thumbs up if you're enjoying the content back to the numbers if a deal gets done soon it'll likely be in the ballpark of 4 years $40 million which puts him at around $60 million per year for comparison we've seen quarterbacks like Joe burrow Jordan love and Trevor Lawrence recently signed deals that average about $55 million per year so it's not unreasonable for Dak to ask for even more given the rising market and his leverage in the situation but here's the thing Cowboys Nation Jerry Jones has been reluctant to reset the market for quarterbacks One Source mentioned that Jerry might be thinking why should I make Dak the first $60 million per year player when younger quarterbacks like burrow and love just signed for Less plus the Cowboys are known for being Frugal in fact Dallas ranks 28th in cash spending despite just signing CD lamb to a massive 4-year $136 million extension and it's not just D the Cowboys have to worry about they also have to make Micah Parsons the highest paid non-quarterback in the league soon and they'll need to extend a leite guard Tyler Smith down the line the financial puzzle is getting more complicated by the day so here's the big question what happens if Dak Prescott reaches free agency for the cowboys that would be a serious problem let's be honest there's no viable replacement for Dak on the roster the Cowboys traded for Trey Lance but as we saw in the preseason finale against the Chargers Lance through five interceptions and doesn't look ready to take the Reigns as a starting quarterback just yet plus the 2024 quarterback draft class isn't shaping up to be a strong one so it's unlikely the Cowboys will find their next franchise quarterback there either and with Prescott continuing to play at a high level he ranks fourth in expected points added EPA per drop back fifth in yard s per attempt and eighth in total touchdown passes since 2020 it's hard to imagine Dallas moving on from him without taking a serious step backward now let's talk about the playoffs this is the one knock on Deck he's two to five in postseason play some argue that he hasn't won consistently in the playoffs but others like the ringer Steven Ruiz point out that Prescott has actually performed better than most quarterbacks in the playoffs sure he had a couple of rough outings against the 49ers in 2022 and 2021 but remember his Elite performances against the Packers in6 and the Rams in 2018 in most of dak's playoff losses the Cowboys defense gave up more than 30 points making it tough for any quarterback to win so where does that leave us Cowboys fans it seems like Jerry Jones is hesitant to pay Dak Prescott the money he deserves because of his playoff record and the performance of young younger quarterbacks but the truth is if the Cowboys let Prescott walk in free agency they're taking a huge risk the team could find themselves in quarterback Purgatory struggling to compete in a division that's only getting stronger before we wrap up I want to hear from you all what do you think the Cowboys should do should they pay Dak Prescott the big bucks or should they let him Test free agency drop your thoughts in the comments and let's get a discussion going
