It once seemed like a certainty. Everyone knew that Dak Prescott was going to count roughly $55 million against the salary cap in 2024. So everyone believed the Dallas Cowboys would get a new deal done with Prescott to lower that number and keep him from hitting free agency after the season. A seeming certainty.
Now? Not so much. Prescott holds almost all of the cards in this game. He can’t be franchise tagged and he can’t be traded without consent. He is coming off a season where he was second in the MVP vote and had one of his best statistical seasons.
