Dak Prescott is ready to start a new season with the Dallas Cowboys. However, just hours before Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns, the quarterback hasn’t received a contract extension.
Although the star player delivered MVP numbers in 2023, Jerry Jones is not willing to make him the highest paid player in NFL history. That has sparked a massive controversy.
During the last few days, Dak Prescott said he didn’t fear free agency trying to win a Super Bowl. Now, in a shocking turn of events, everything has suddenly changed.
Will Dak Prescott become a free agent?
Dak Prescott has all the leverage against Jerry Jones. If the Dallas Cowboys don’t give him a contract extension soon, the quarterback will become an unrestricted free agent in 2025.
Remember, Jones has no chance to use a franchise tag on Prescott and the player also keeps a no trade clause in his current deal. Dak is absolutely on the driver’s seat.
Will the Dallas Cowboys give Dak Prescott a contract extension?
A few days ago, Dak Prescott seemed ready to test free agency by exposing Jerry Jones for his lack of action in the negotiations. “It shows just how people feel. I think it says a lot if it is or if it isn’t (new contract).”
However, just hours before the start of the season at Cleveland, the quarterback hinted he wants to stay in Dallas and win a Super Bowl. A sudden change of mind.
“I know both sides are working (new contract). People change their feelings daily. I can’t say I have the same feelings that I had last week. That’s what motivates me on being here, honestly, is to be the quarterback that does it, that wins it (the Super Bowl). I don’t think that winning it any other place would be the same as winning it here. That’s A-No. 1 why I want to be here, to be honest with you.”
