Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott may potentially be playing his last season with the team in 2024. While nothing is set in stone, Prescott himself has acknowledged that this upcoming season could be his last with the Cowboys. Negotiations for a long-term extension have not seen any recent progress, and the team has yet to make a move to ensure Prescott stays beyond 2024. Despite this uncertainty, Prescott remains focused on the present and leaving contract talks up to his team.
Prescott signed a four-season, $160 million contract in 2021, which is set to expire after the 2024 season. He was initially confident that a deal would be reached in March, but talks have not progressed as anticipated. While he remains open to discussions if they arise, Prescott’s main focus is on improving as a player in the moment. Coming off a disappointing performance in the 2024 NFC Wild Card game, Prescott is looking to bounce back and build on the success of his 2023 season.
In the 2023 season, Prescott had his best performance yet, completing a career-high 410 passes with a 69.5% completion rate. He threw a career-high 36 touchdown passes and recorded 4,516 total passing yards, the second-most in his career. Despite the defeat in the playoffs, Prescott’s individual performance was impressive, showcasing his potential and value to the team. However, the upcoming NFL draft and offseason will provide further insight into the direction the Cowboys may take regarding Prescott’s future on the team.
While Prescott has stated his desire to continue with the Cowboys, the uncertainty surrounding his contract extension and the team’s long-term plans leaves his future with the organization in question. Owner Jerry Jones has yet to make a definitive move regarding Prescott’s contract, adding to the speculation about his potential departure. As negotiations remain at a standstill, both Prescott and the Cowboys will have to wait and see what the future holds beyond the 2024 season. In the meantime, Prescott remains focused on his performance and leaving contract discussions to his team to handle.
