‘There is nobody there’… Former NFL star rips into the Cowboys quarterback contract situation

The Dallas Cowboys have not moved to agree on a new deal with the franchise quarterback and could be looking at a bleak alternative.

Dak Prescott has one year left on his current deal but the Cowboys have shown no interest in finding a solution for an extension.

Moreover, the 30-year-old has come off an All-Pro season where he finished second in the MVP race.

Now, he possesses the second-highest cap hit ($55 million) in the league behind Deshaun Watson.

Expectations for the offseason were for Jerry Jones to offer a new deal, yet the owner may force Prescott to play out into 2025.

Stephen Jones claims Cowboys were forced to limit their spending in free agency

Stephen Jones stated that they have had to withhold free agency money if they are to give the likes of Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons new contracts.

Nonetheless, there is a real possibility that the Dallas Cowboys force their franchise QB to play on an expiring deal.

Therefore, Prescott may feel inclined to test free agency and leave America’s Team in a problematic situation.

Adam Schefter raised eyebrows when he believed that the Cowboys are a ‘sleeper team’ to draft a QB next week.

Former wide receiver James Jones spoke about the possibility of the Cowboys having to tap into free agency or the draft for a new signal-caller.

James Jones says ‘there is nobody there’ in free agency better than Prescott

On the show Speak, Jones proclaimed: “Cowboys trippin! The Cowboys trippin! I know what they want but I don’t know what they’re thinking.

“The main reason is if you don’t draft a quarterback in the first round this year, you are trippin trippin because Dak Prescott is going to play well. That is all he has shown you. You get paid based on how well you play in the regular season. He always does.

When analyzing who the possible free agents are available next year if the Cowboys needed one, Jones explained: “There is nobody there.”

Cowboys could risk letting Prescott test the open market in 2025

Jones believes the Cowboys are being naive if they think they can risk letting Dak Prescott hit free agency.

Furthermore, there will be no upgrade of Prescott in the open market and they would have to show patience to draft a QB.

America’s Team had the talent last year but are having to rebuild because they could not afford to resign key starters.

Jerry Jones’ hesitation on a new deal has caused a domino effect that limited their spending in free agency.
