Dak and his contract: Can the cowboys avert Dak Prescott’s huge 2024 contract hit?

There are numerous questions around the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott.

some supporters questioned whether the 30-year-old field general is still the proper guy under center for Dallas.

However, there is an even bigger question mark that must be answered right now: his 2024 contract.

The Mississippi State product will enter the last year of his four-year contract with a $59 million cap cost,

making it practically hard to make any roster changes.

Fans of America’s Team will be relieved to know that there are numerous solutions to this conundrum,

depending on the desired outcome. However, neither of the solutions are as simple as you would like.

Dak and his contract: Can the cowboys avert Dak Prescott’s huge 2024 contract hit?

Is extending Dak Prescott’s deal the only way the Cowboys can escape the cap hit?

it will immediately alleviate the potential cap penalty that

would preclude Jerry Jones’ squad from retooling for another Super Bowl run.

Unfortunately, conversations between Jones’ and Prescott’s camps have not gone well.

The potential of the contract crisis reaching the preseason grows by the day,

as their star quarterback refuses to sign on the dotted line.

The option is to “flip the switch” and use automatic conversion.

This clause permits the team to convert a portion of his base salary

into a bonus that would paid out for throughout the season.

This way, the team can acquire talent that will help Prescott win the Super Bowl.

How about a trade?

If extending the contract becomes unfeasible, the next best option is to move Dak Prescott to another NFL team.

While Prescott still has a bad postseason reputation,

his 4516 passing yards and 36 passing touchdowns remain appealing to a lot of NFL teams.

In fact, former Indianapolis Colts head coach Jeff Saturday

has encouraged the 30-year-old to request a trade to the Atlanta Falcons.

The squad is loaded with excellent offensive weapons that a talented quarterback like him can exploit.

Whether Dak is willing to leave Jerry World is another story entirely.
