Now that free agency and the NFL Draft have passed, the Dallas Cowboys should concentrate on signing Dak Prescott to a long-term contract.
Dallas’ offseason has been extremely busy.
They lost players like Tony Pollard, their defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, and legendary player Tyron Smith.
It goes without saying that Dallas has a ton of roster uncertainties in 2024.
With the addition of starting center Cooper Beebe and left tackle Tyler Guyton, over half of the offensive line will consist of rookies.
Even with Tyler Smith and Zack Martin, two All-Pros still on the team, things are never entirely easy when your starting two are rookies.
Despite only having 24 career receptions, Jalen Tolbert is also expected to be slotted at WR3 by Dallas.
For a squad that is purportedly “all-in,” these types of doubts are not ideal.
The Cowboys’ roster is talented enough to contend for victories in 2024.
But when they retool following this season, they have a greater chance of contending for Super Bowls.
It would only take longer if they started looking for a new quarterback for the team.
In light of this, let’s examine why it is imperative for Dallas to give Prescott’s contract extension top priority.
It is no secret that the sports world is starting to take notice of this story.
The media has therefore put pressure on Prescott and the front office on the matter.
A lot more optimism surrounded an extension earlier in the offseason.
In interviews, Prescott and CEO Stephen Jones both responded, “It will get done,” when questioned about a new contract for the quarterback.
Both parties have now abandoned that rhetoric.
Prescott is now stating that he is content to play somewhere in the future, even if he would want to be in Dallas.
Jerry Jones is doing all in his power to avoid answering concerns regarding whether to extend his quarterback, which has made the front office even more opaque.
There have also been reports that teams that need a quarterback are getting ready for a Prescott free agency sweepstakes.
This is obviously not the end of the narrative, and the entire season will be devoted to covering it.
But there is a simple fix if Dallas is serious about becoming competitive.
After extending Prescott, they ought to begin negotiating contracts for the remaining young, talented players.
That’s how successful companies run.
