Dak Prescott‘s contract is set to expire at the end of the 2024 season. Cowboys Executive Vice President and CEO Stephen Jones informed Dianna Russini of The Athletic that the team is actively seeking to negotiate an extension with him after this year. Despite having the quarterback under contract for two more years, the team faces a financial challenge due to his high cap figures.

This has led to frequent discussions about a potential extension. While some fans may have reservations about Prescott continuing with the Cowboys, Stephen Jones has expressed “He’s under contract now, but we’d like to do this after the season. Once the season is over, we will focus on that. Dak will be our quarterback.”

A contract extension would be advantageous for the Cowboys from a financial perspective. Prescott’s cap hit for 2024 is projected to be nearly $60 million, as projected by Over the Cap. Restructuring his contract could spread some of that financial burden into future years, providing cap relief. However, there are doubts about the quarterback’s performance in critical games.
