“He’s going to leave” – Dak Prescott’s indirect warning to Jerry Jones about contract deadline sparks OUTRAGE on social media

After CeeDee Lamb got his extension, all eyes are now on Dak Prescott. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback is entering the final year of his contract, signed back in 2021.

Prescott has a cap hit of $60 million in 2025 and can earn up to $65 million according to senior ESPN analyst Mina Kimes. It all depends on the whims of owner Jerry Jones and if Lamb’s extension saga is anything to go by, then Prescott is in for the long haul.

However, unlike Lamb whom the Cowboys could have easily tagged, Prescott doesn’t have a franchise tag clause in his current contract. Furthermore, they can’t trade or release him before March 12. So, the only course of action for the 3 times Pro Bowler will be to enter free agency and wait for a team to make him the highest-paid player ever.

After Thursday’s practice, Prescott revealed he stopped listening to Jones a long time ago. When asked what it means if he doesn’t get a new deal before the deadline, Prescott had a blunt reply.

Just how people feel.

Football fans react to Dak Prescott’s subtly hinting at leaving Dallas Cowboys when his contract runs out

Jones on the other hand has backed Prescott to stick around beyond the 2024 season even though a section of the Cowboys fans would prefer to see the back of him. The veteran may be a top regular-season quarterback but it’s the playoffs where he struggles the most with just 2 wins and has a record of 28-34 against .500 teams since he became the starter in 2016.

Despite the poor record, Prescott has all the leverage in his hands but he has never for once come right out and demanded money from Jones. Rather, he prefers to win games and perhaps the Super Bowl. However, if there’s no offer by the contract deadline then he wouldn’t think twice to leave.

Football is a results business and if Dak Prescott manages to produce the results, then consensus would be in his favor. Jones then has to give an extension even if it’s north of $60 million. The Cowboys kickoff their campaign against the Cleveland Browns, a game that will be called by seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady.
