The Dallas Cowboys have held their cards close to their chest as they remain undecided on Dak Prescott’s extension, and free agency in 2025 becomes a possibility.
It will seem absurd to some fans that the Dallas Cowboys are toying with the idea of letting an MVP-caliber star potentially test free agency in 2025.
Dak Prescott fell well short of the Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson in the MVP votes but was comfortable securing second place.
However, this has served him no leverage in the offseason extension debacle as Jerry Jones continues to remain idle.
Jerry Jones remains unconvinced by Dak Prescott but their struggles stretch back for decades
The Dallas Cowboys owner has been exasperated by their lack of postseason success with Prescott as the starter since 2016.
Yet, their playoff shortcomings have been prominent since 1996.
Despite Stephen Jones suggesting they remain keen to sign Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons to a new deal, their silence has been deafening.
With every day that ticks by, the chance of the three-time Pro Bowler entertaining offers in 2025 becomes more likely.
Pro Football Talk host Chris Simms believes Dak Prescott ‘is made’ for the New York Giants.
Franchises around the NFL will monitor the situation as things progress because any team with quarterback struggles could be vying for his signature.
Dak Prescott has an amazing chance ahead of him 2024 and could smash a franchise record
In addition to his MVP runner-up campaign, the Cowboys star could have a great chance of breaking the franchise’s all-time passing yards record.
As things stand, Prescott will be entering the season 3,483 yards shy of Troy Aikman in second place.
When completing a season healthy, the 30-year-old has only thrown below this requirement once in his career.
Unless there is a disaster season or an injury in store for Prescott, he will comfortably leap-frog Aikman for the second spot.
However, Prescott could fancy himself to catch Tony Romo and become the franchise passing yards leader.
Ultimately, he would require 4,724 single-season passing yards, but if he can lead a deep playoff run, then it is game on.
In 2019, Prescott threw for 4,902 yards, and in his most recent campaign, he logged 4,516.
Mike McCarthy was crucial to Prescott’s 2023 success and gives him a great chance in 2024
Head coach Mike McCarthy, a former quarterbacks coach, guided Prescott to one of his most successful seasons – he called the plays.
Therefore, it is not idiotic to suggest that the former 2016 NFL Rookie of the Year can get close to his career-high and surpass Romo’s record.
McCarthy and Prescott’s chemistry can get stronger and the former could find more success as he calls the plays in 2024.
Consequently, if the Cowboys do not extend Prescott, then he could test the free agency market as the Cowboys’ all-time passing leader.
Dak Prescott will need to find 208 yards more in 2024 if he is to surpass his predecessor’s outstanding record.
