The readjustment of the quarterback’s contract is one more step taken by the Cowboys, who still need to extend the contract of two other key pieces of the squad.
There is still doubt over Dak Prescott’s long-term future with the Dallas Cowboys. The team has made it clear that it has intentions of renewing with the QB, but there is no explicit indication of when they intend to do so.
ESPN reporter Field Yates announced that Dallas has adjusted the roster bonus from $5 million to a signing bonus in an effort to free up money in the salary cap.
In addition, the move also consisted of adding void years to the player’s contract – this measure will help the Cowboys this season with an amount of $4 million.
However, this doesn’t mean that the team can’t negotiate a new contract with the signal-caller.
His current cap number, now adjusted, is $55.455 million. He still has one more year remaining on his contract, which will pay him $29 million for the 2024 season.
The terms agreed by Dak Prescott
These void years, which will now last until 2028, could become a risk factor for the franchise if the QB goes without his contract extension and becomes a free agent next season. This could create some financial problems for the Cowboys in the near future.
Insider Dan Graziano added an important piece of information to Yates’ statement. This move by Dallas was only possible with Prescott’s consent.
Further contracts
The franchise continues in yet another quiet and unimpressive free agency. They still have to worry about two other major renewals for the team. Cee Dee Lamb and Micah Parsons are the next players to receive large, high-value contracts.
So far, the team’s only external signing has been linebacker Erick Kendricks on a one-year deal worth $3.5 million. The acquisition of the LB explains the release of Leighton Vander Esch, who was selected by the Cowboys in the 2018 Draft and sat out most of the season due to a neck injury.
