The ongoing discussions regarding Dak Prescott’s future with the Dallas Cowboys are anticipated to extend into the team’s training camp in late July. Amid concerns that Prescott may become a free agent after the current season if no new agreement is made, the spotlight on his contract negotiations has intensified.
Recent speculations indicate that Prescott is aiming for a $60 million annual salary following the announcement of Trevor Lawrence’s staggering five-year, $275 million contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Should Prescott enter the free-agent market, it’s expected to trigger a fierce competition for his services, complicating the Cowboys’ efforts to secure their leading quarterback. The delay in finalizing Prescott’s contract has only inflated his value, potentially placing him beyond the financial reach of the Cowboys, especially as they also need to consider future contracts for stars like CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons.
The question now is where Prescott could possibly land if he were to leave Dallas.
ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum has recommended that the Las Vegas Raiders should aggressively chase Prescott. Tannenbaum’s advice to Raiders owner Mark Davis was emphatic during a discussion on ESPN’s Get Up, suggesting Davis should be ready to offer Prescott anything to secure his move to the Raiders, teaming him up with notable talents like rookie tight end Brock Bowers and All-Pro receiver Davante Adams.
Assessing the current quarterback lineup for the Raiders, which includes Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew, Prescott’s acquisition would undoubtedly elevate the team’s performance. His potential partnership with Bowers, the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and Adams, could transform the Raiders into a formidable contender.
Mark Davis is known for making bold moves, making the Raiders a credible threat to snatch Prescott if he hits the open market. Coming off a stellar season where he threw for 4,516 yards with an NFL-best 36 touchdowns and only nine interceptions, earning him second-team All-Pro honors and his third Pro Bowl selection, Prescott’s next career move is highly anticipated as he aims to build on his impressive 2023 performance in the 2024-25 season, though his final team remains undecided.
