Dak is back, but for how long? Do the Cowboys have his replacement on the roster already?
Until Dak Prescott signs a contract extension, it's fair to ask if Trey Lance is more than just a back-up QB., who will head to Oxnard, California, to open training camp for the 2024 season. As a part of my job, interviewing Cowboys players and coaches and getting an early look for what this new version of the team will look like.
If you had asked me the Trey Lance question in February, I would’ve laughed out loud and thought"what a moronic question!" But, with each passing month, it's gone from “no way in hell that’s happening, they will obviously extend Dak” to “why in the hell haven’t they extended Dak yet?!”The financial parameters for Prescott's next contract are now in place, with Cincinnati's Joe Burrow and Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence each averaging $55 million a year.
At this point, it does feel like that idea is at the very least on the table. Prescott, among QBs with at least 64 starts since 2016, ranks third in wins, behind only Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes and just ahead of Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers. That group of five quarterbacks presents an intriguing “one of those things is not like the others” exercise, because the four not named Dak all have at least one Super Bowl ring.
At some point, fair or not, the question must be asked whether Prescott has what it takes to get this version of the Cowboys over the hump. Quarterbacks are judged on postseason success, or the lack thereof, and as good as Prescott has been in the regular season, and despite those playoff losses not falling solely on him, this deep into a QB’s career it’s fair to ask if it’s time to move onto another QB option.
