#Cowboys Dak Prescott has a scheduled cap hit of around $76 million next year (for now). With two years left on his current deal after this season, could Dallas be approaching a crossroads of getting a new deal done this offseason? Or do they just let it ride out with sights set on the future?
@AlbertBreer answers my question in his weekly mailbag:
“Yeah, Brandon, I think it’s fair to believe that the Cowboys should explore that after this season. They’re still paying a price for waiting as long as they did on Prescott in the first place, all the way back in 2020 and ’21, in the residual leverage the quarterback can constantly wield. Waiting cost them then, and waiting until they were into Week 1 of a contract year again in ’24 cost them, so it would make sense to try to get ahead of this one in ’27, with two years left on the deal he signed two years ago.
There’s also the other piece of this: Prescott will turn 34 next summer, has been banged up, and the time could be coming to put an heir apparent into the pipeline. If you’re Dallas, would you throw a second- or third-round supplemental pick out there this summer for Brendan Sorsby, should he declare? It’s worth thinking about, anyway.”
