When asked if the 2024 season would be quarterback Dak Prescott's last year with the organization, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said, "I don't think so. I do not think this will be his last year with the Cowboys at all." "We think we can get them both done." executive vice president Stephen Jones said when asked about getting contract extensions done with both Prescott and receiver CeeDee Lamb. He also indicated it "does require" to make tougher decisions on other players. Lamb is currently holding out of training camp as he seeks a new deal, while Prescott is in line to play the 2024 campaign on the final year of the four-year contract he signed in 2021. Prescott is due to make $55 million this year after a career season in 2023. The 30-year-old is much more likely to hit the open market next March if he doesn't sign a new extension with Dallas before Week 1 this fall.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said that his agent and the Cowboys have had "conversations back and forth," with Prescott saying that "the money and all that will take care of itself." He was also seen in a walking boot recently while on vacation, but Prescott said his surgically repaired ankle is completely fine and there's nothing to worry about. The 30-year-old is coming off a career year and is heading into the final year of his current contract in 2024. The Cowboys cannot trade him and cannot use the franchise tag on him, so Prescott has some real leverage in contract talks this offseason. Prescott could be in line to make around $60 million per year on a new deal, which could be shorter in length if Dallas gets something done with him. Prescott isn't an elite QB1 in fantasy because of his lack of rushing, but he's certainly a decent fallback option as a midrange QB1.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) said he will do his trip with his pass-catchers before training camp kicks off at the end of July as he has done the last several years. Prescott said the plan for now is for receiver CeeDee Lamb to be in attendance. The 30-year-old caused a stir over the weekend when he was seen wearing a walking boot while on vacation, but he was wearing it strictly as a precaution after some soreness developed in his surgically repaired right ankle following two hard workouts. Prescott was just being cautious and does not anticipate it being an issue when camp begins. He had surgery on his ankle back in 2020 due to a compound fracture and dislocation. Prescott should be 100% for the start of the 2024 season and should be considered a solid midrange QB1 target after coming off a great 2023 campaign.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (foot) recently suffered a right foot sprain, with a picture circulating showing the signal-caller wearing a walking boot on vacation. However, while speaking with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, he downplayed the significance of the photo while indicating the boot was worn during his vacation for precautionary reasons, something he's needed to do at times since suffering a right ankle compound fracture-dislocation in 2020. "The last time I went deep sea fishing, my ankle swole up," said Prescott. "I'm great." The 30-year-old is coming off one of his best seasons, finishing the 2023-24 campaign by throwing for 4,516 yards, 36 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He also completed a career-high 69.5% of his passes. Without question, Prescott's health will be something fantasy managers will monitor in 2024-25. But with the motivation to earn a new contract, another stellar year could be on the horizon. In a separate article by ESPN, Prescott is no longer wearing the boot, which is undoubtedly good news heading into training camp.
Jul 5, 2024 10:25 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (foot) is dealing with a very minor foot sprain and has been for a few days. Prescott was seen with a walking boot on his right foot, but it's not considered to be anything that should affect his preparation for the 2024 season. The 30-year-old has been wearing his boot for around a week, but he should be able to shed it and be ready to go for the start of training camp at the end of the month. It's something worth watching as camp gets underway, but it's unlikely to affect Prescott's availability for the start of the 2024 campaign. Because of Prescott's lack of rushing ability, he'll be hard-pressed to be a high-end QB1 for fantasy managers, but he should have plenty of passing volume again in 2024 to maintain his status as a high-floor midrange QB1 target in fantasy drafts with one of the best receivers in the game at his disposal in CeeDee Lamb.
Jul 4, 2024 2:59 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is still without a new contract. Both sides haven't worked out an agreement. However, as Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson indicated, Trevor Lawrence's new deal could result in Prescott getting more money. The 30-year-old is coming off another potent season, throwing for 4,516 yards, 36 touchdowns, and nine interceptions while completing a career-high 69.5% of his attempts. Without question, if the Cowboys allow Prescott to reach free agency next offseason, he would command more than enough attention on the open market. In the meantime, Prescott should remain a top fantasy signal-caller, considering he has CeeDee Lamb, arguably the league's top wideout, at his disposal.

Dallas police will not pursue sexual-assault charges against Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, with a police spokesperson saying that detectives determined there was insufficient evidence an offense was committed. The case stemmed from an alleged incident that occurred in 2017 in which a woman said Prescott assaulted her in the back of an SUV in a strip club parking lot. In March, Prescott filed a suit seeking monetary relief in excess of $1 million after receiving a letter in January from attorneys on behalf of the woman that they would "forego pursuing criminal charges, along with disclosing this information to the public, in exchange for compensating her for the mental anguish she has suffered." It's unclear if the NFL is doing their separate investigation, but either way, it doesn't appear likely that Prescott will be in danger of facing a suspension from the league.
May 5, 2024 1:44 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is entering the final year of his deal in 2024, and he and the organization have not begun contract negotiations. The former fourth-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft threw for a career-high 36 touchdowns in 2023, but Dallas suffered another disappointing playoff defeat in the NFC Divisional Round. On his contract situation, Prescott said "I'm not trying to be the highest paid necessarily. We'll wait until the negotiations begin and obviously want to put this team in the best situation." If the 30-year-old is willing to take a home team discount, it could help his chances of reaching a new deal. Star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and edge rusher Micah Parson will be up for new deals soon, meaning the Cowboys have a lot to figure out over the next few offseasons.
Apr 22, 2024 4:10 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said that he has not started contract-extension negotiations with the team yet, but he did meet with owner Jerry Jones a few weeks ago to discuss the situation. Prescott said he doesn't want to be the highest-paid QB in the league "necessarily" and wants to put the team in the best situation. The 30-year-old had the best season of his career in 2023, but the team flopped again in the postseason, which could make the Cowboys hesitant to do a long-term deal with the former fourth-round pick in 2016 out of Mississippi State. However, an extension would help Dallas lower Prescott's $55.46 million salary cap hit in 2024. Prescott looked great in 2023, but his lack of rushing at the QB position keeps him from upper-tier QB1 status.
Apr 19, 2024 8:13 PM EST
The Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott have a mutual understanding of his contract situation, according to sources, with no offers from Dallas despite Prescott being in a contract year. "We are where we are, locked and loaded for this year," owner Jerry Jones said. With no indication of a new deal coming, it looks like the 30-year-old signal-caller will play out the 2024 season on the final year of his contract. The three-time Pro Bowler threw for 4,516 yards and a league-high 36 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games in one of his best showings, but the Cowboys fell flat in the playoffs yet again. There's still time for the two sides to work something out to help ease the burden of Prescott's $55.46 million salary cap hit this year. Fantasy-wise, Prescott will be a QB1 consolation prize after the elite names at the position come off the board.
Mar 26, 2024 2:46 PM EST
The Dallas Cowboys converted a $5 million roster bonus due to quarterback Dak Prescott on Sunday into a signing bonus, creating $4 million in salary cap space for the 2024 season. The move reduces Prescott's salary cap number this year to $55.455 million, while two extra void years were added to his deal for cap purposes (void years now through 2028). It doesn't prevent the Cowboys and Prescott from further negotiating a long-term contract extension, but it gives the team some immediate cap relief. The 30-year-old made his third Pro Bowl in 2023 and had an excellent regular season, throwing for a league-high 36 touchdowns and 4,516 yards while completing a league-high 410 passes. Prescott isn't an elite fantasy QB because of his lack of rushing ability, but he's a fine consolation prize if you don't spend big money on the elite tier.
Mar 18, 2024 12:02 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has faith that he and the team will be able to work out a new long-term deal. "I'm definitely confident, obviously it helps the team and it's important for the numbers. I've heard Jerry say that. This is a process, both sides understand that. Everything is great. It will happen," Prescott said. The 30-year-old carries a $59.455 million salary cap hit in 2024, so the Cowboys were hoping to work out a new deal with Prescott before the start of free agency next week. He'll have a base salary of $29 million, and the Cowboys currently sit just over $4 million over the cap. While Prescott isn't an elite fantasy QB1, he's right behind the top tier after delivering a league-high 36 touchdown passes and only nine interceptions while throwing for 4,516 yards in 17 regular-season games in 2023.
Mar 4, 2024 7:52 PM EST
ESPN's Dan Graziano isn't as convinced as most people that quarterback Dak Prescott will get a lucrative contract extension from the Dallas Cowboys. His current salary cap number for 2024 is $59.455 million, which is huge, and an extension would be the obvious way to reduce that number. However, Prescott has a lot of leverage with one year left on his current deal and a clause in his contract that prohibits the team from franchising him. The 30-year-old hasn't made it easy on Dallas in the past, either. If the two sides don't make progress on a deal, the Cowboys could save around $18.5 million in cap space by converting Prescott's 2024 salary into a signing bonus without adding any more void years. However, doing that would result in Dallas carrying a cap charge of around $55 million on Prescott in 2025.
Mar 3, 2024 2:33 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, who is being retained for the final year of his contract in 2024 despite another early playoff exit, has full confidence in quarterback Dak Prescott moving forward. "I believe in Dak Prescott," McCarthy said. The head coach also called Prescott "part of the solution moving forward." The 30-year-old signal-caller made his third Pro Bowl in 2023 and led the NFL in completions (410) and touchdown passes (36) during the regular season while throwing for 4,516 yards and only nine interceptions after leading the NFL with 15 picks in 2022. Playoff issues aside, Prescott was in the MVP conversation all year and has put himself in the high-end QB1 picture for fantasy drafts heading into the 2024 season.
Jan 18, 2024 12:08 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott piled up yards in a Wild Card Weekend loss to the Green Bay Packers. Prescott attempted 60 passes, completing 41 of them for 403 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. He took four sacks, losing 16 yards, and picked up 45 yards on the ground on six rush attempts. Prescott was solid all season, but this was a game where his fantasy numbers looked a whole lot better than his performance on the field. Despite the three touchdowns and the 403 yards, he ended up with a QBR of just 43.3. The Cowboys certainly have a lot of questions to answer before next season, but Prescott's job as QB1 is safe.
Jan 14, 2024 11:14 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is one of the top fantasy options on Wild Card Weekend. The Cowboys will host the Green Bay Packers as Prescott will look to continue a hot streak that saw him finish the regular season with two top-seven finishes (QB7 in Week 17, QB3 in Week 18). The Packers defense didn't do much to slow down opposing quarterbacks in the regular season, so there's no reason to think they suddenly will in the playoffs. This could be one of the highest scoring games of the playoff round, making Prescott an easy top-three option at his position.
Jan 11, 2024 11:27 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw four touchdowns in a Week 18 blowout win over the Washington Commanders. Prescott attempted 36 throws, completing 31 of them for 279 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. He did not take a sack nor did he record a rushing attempt. It was an excellent game for Prescott after a slightly slow start in the first quarter, and he was even able to take a seat toward the end of the game as backup Cooper Rush wrapped things up for the Cowboys regular season. The Cowboys will host the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the NFL playoffs next weekend.
Jan 8, 2024 12:51 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is one of the top fantasy options in a Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders. Prescott is the overall QB4 in fantasy this season, ranking fourth in passing yards and first in passing touchdowns. The Cowboys need a win to win their division, and the Commanders defense hasn't been stopping much of anything lately. Dak is a top-three option in the regular season's final week.
Jan 4, 2024 6:41 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had a strong game in a Week 17 win over the Detroit Lions. Prescott attempted 38 passes, completing 26 of them for 345 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He also ran the ball twice, gaining five yards on the ground. Dak was sacked three times and fumbled once, but the Cowboys recovered. The Cowboys will finish up the regular season with a Week 18 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
Dec 31, 2023 5:07 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a strong fantasy option in a Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions. Prescott has been very consistent, throwing two or more touchdowns in eight of his past nine games and finishing as a top-15 fantasy QB in eight of his past 10. The Lions have been generous to opposing quarterbacks and Prescott is easily in the top-10 at his position this week and should be a QB1 for most league's fantasy championships.
