Can the Cowboys prevent the massive 2024 contract hit to Dak Prescott?

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys are the subject of many inquiries. Following their depressing defeat to the Green Bay Packers in

the Wild Card game, some Dallas supporters questioned whether the 30-year-old field general is still the best option behind center.

But his 2024 deal raises even more questions that need to be addressed right away. With a $59 million cap cost heading into his final

year of a four-year contract, the Mississippi State product will make it extremely difficult to make some much-needed roster changes.

Anthony Licciardi of Cowboy Maven claims that if the Cowboys choose to extend a contract to the eight-year veteran slinger, it will

instantly lessen the possible cap hit that would keep Jerry Jones’ squad from making a run at the Super Bowl.

Regretfully, there hasn’t been much success in the negotiations between Prescott’s and Jones’ camps. With every day that their star

center refuses to sign on the dotted line, the likelihood of the contract scandal extending into the preseason grows.

The alternative is to “flip the switch” with an automatic conversion. This clause allows the team to turn part of his base salary into a

bonus that will be paid out for throughout the season. This way,

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

If, for some reason, extending the contract becomes an unviable option, the next best thing is to trade Dak Prescott to another NFL team.

While Prescott still has a terrible postseason reputation, his 4516 passing yards and 36 passing touchdowns are still attractive

numbers for a number of NFL teams.

In fact, Jeff Saturday, the former head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, strongly advises the 30-year-old to ask to be traded to the

Atlanta Falcons. He is a talented quarterback who can make the most of the team’s fantastic offensive tools.
