Dak Prescott wasn’t happy seeing the media focusing too much on the demolition of his mansion. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback called out the media for prying too much into his personal space, especially since he is now a father.
While answering questions on the Cowboys’ week 6 fixture against the Detroit Lions on Thursday, Prescott mentioned that he did not appreciate the nation’s media zooming in while the workers demolished his home in Prosper, Texas.
He was caught off guard when one reporter suddenly brought the topic up. The 3x Pro Bowler revealed that most of the time people are afraid of change, but it’s necessary to go through with it.
I’m super excited, blessed that I’m in a position to do so [but] it’s crazy the coverage it [the demolition] got. [I am just] trying to keep my personal life my personal life, build a home or a place, or have a property that I’m about to raise a daughter [MJ] and a family there; I truly don’t appreciate the drones, the extra videos, and honestly, the conversation of it.

Naturally, I lived a little dangerously with the next question ?

Prescott bought the 8800-square-foot mansion in 2019 for $3 million, according to Collin County Appraisal District records. The Mississippi State added a few personal touches to the place, adding a tennis court in 2023 to go along with a turf football field he installed back in 2020.
Videos taken by WFAA show bulldozers breaking it down wall by wall. Photos taken at the site even captured Prescott speaking with his girlfriend, Sarah Jane Ramos.
Witty question from a reporter makes Dak Prescott laugh while talking about the demolition of his mansion
Harris quickly changed the subject back to the Lions game with an improvised question.
The landscape is different [changes in the Cowboys’ roster] from the last time you played the Lions.
Nick Harris interjected
The entire room broke into laughter, and even Prescott joined in.
You tested me; you tested me… That was nice. The DC [Zimmer] hasn’t changed. He is who he is, very confident in his scheme, and if I think of anything, that’s why the personnel on the back end of the defense have changed for him to be able to call man more confidently, play coverages, and has been a great coordinator for a long time.
Dak Prescott added
Well, Prescott can easily afford a new mansion, as he signed a $60 million-a-year deal before the season began.
Yet that’s secondary; as he mentioned, his and the Cowboys’ focus remains fixated on the Lions fixture, which saw a controversial end last season.
