Diving into the ongoing saga of Dak Prescott’s contract negotiations with the Dallas Cowboys. Despite hopes for a team-friendly deal in previous years, Prescott’s negotiations have been a masterclass, resulting in a lucrative contract extension through 2024.
However, with the 2025 season looming, the Cowboys face a gamble if they fail to secure an extension with Prescott. His leverage, including a no-trade clause and the team’s inability to use the franchise tag, puts him in a powerful position. Furthermore, Jerry Jones’ interest in Deion Sanders’ sons, particularly Shedeur Sanders, adds another layer of complexity to the situation.
Could the Cowboys be eyeing a transition to Shedeur Sanders as their future quarterback, potentially under the coaching of Deion Sanders? Rumors swirl about the possibility of Coach Prime joining the Cowboys as the new head coach, raising questions about the football implications versus marketing motives. Most important look at the recent hire of Coach Mike Zimmer who was on the Colorado staff last year and who Prime loves.

As the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott gear up for the final year of their quarterback’s contract, there’s a resounding agreement between the two parties. According to insights from NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, both the Cowboys and Prescott have decided against any alterations to his contract for the upcoming 2024 season.
Anticipated by many, the expectation was for Prescott’s contract extension this offseason to alleviate the significant salary cap burden. However, the decision has been made to maintain the status quo and reassess matters post-season. Recently, the Cowboys modified a $5 million roster bonus into a signing bonus, reducing Prescott’s salary cap hit by $4 million. Nonetheless, his cap figure remains substantial at $55.445 million, with the inclusion of two added void years until 2028.
Prescott’s current deal, inked in 2021 for four years at $160 million, comes with clauses preventing trades and tags. Absent an extension, Prescott is poised for free agency in 2025. Failure to secure a new deal would still bind the Cowboys to a $40.46 million cap hit in 2025.
Back in 2021, Prescott held considerable leverage following consecutive franchise tags by Dallas, culminating in a shorter contract negotiation. Given his hefty cap allocation, Prescott retains significant leverage. Despite this, the Cowboys appear content to let the situation evolve rather than succumb to pressure.
Deion Sanders, a celebrated figure in football lore, notably spent five impactful seasons with the Cowboys from 1995 to 1999, contributing to a Super Bowl victory in XXX. Since then, Sanders has ventured into coaching, notably leading Jackson State and Colorado with his sons, Shedeur and Shilo, by his side. Shedeur excelled as Colorado’s primary quarterback, throwing 27 touchdowns with just three interceptions, while Shilo led the team in tackles with 70. While Sanders’ tenure at Colorado saw improvement, the question arises: could Sanders be the next head coach for the Dallas Cowboys?
Speculation looms large, especially as voiced by “Undisputed” co-host and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin. Irvin suggests a plausible scenario where Sanders could fill the void if current Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy faces dismissal after the 2023 season. Irvin underscores the potential synergy between Sanders and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, citing shared values of loyalty and promotion coupled with a fervent desire for success. The notion of Sanders leading the Cowboys garners intrigue, with Irvin echoing sentiments of possibility and potential triumph under Sanders’ helm.
