NFL Insider Explains Dak Prescott's Contract and Cowboys' Salary Cap Outlook for 2025

With the Dallas Cowboys seemingly comfortable with Dak Prescott playing out the final season of his current contract, there are a lot of questions about what the future looks like for him and the club.

Per ESPN's Todd Archer, the "deadline of deadlines" for Prescott to sign a new deal with the Cowboys is March 12, 2025, when the league year begins:

"Without a new contract by then, Prescott will count at least $40.46 million against the 2025 salary cap, and he will not be on the Cowboys' roster.

"With a contract done before then, Prescott's cap number will be at least $25 million as a result of the restructures the Cowboys have used on the current deal, including converting his $5 million roster bonus earlier this month.
