NFL Insider Warns Dak Prescott's Time With Cowboys Could Be Running Out

The Dallas Cowboys suffered a 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, squandering a 14-point advantage in the fourth quarter. This marks the team's fifth defeat of the season. Despite Dak Prescott's strong individual performance, his team's defense failed to secure the victory. Prescott completed 19 of 29 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown, adding another score on the ground.

He admitted the defeat was one of the most challenging losses of his NFL career. Former NFL quarterback and analyst Chris Simms indicated that there are whispers in Dallas suggesting the team might be running out of patience with Prescott, warning that they may not have him as their quarterback next season unless their performance improves.

Prescott has put up impressive numbers this season, tallying 2,046 passing yards, the fifth-most in the NFL, along with 14 touchdowns and only five interceptions over eight games. His completion rate is 65.2% with a passer rating of 93.2. Current projections suggest he could surpass 4,300 passing yards and 30 touchdowns by season's end.

However, his age of 33 and the team's inability to advance past the Wild Card round in his 11-year NFL career raise questions about his long-term value. The Cowboys are still contractually obligated to Prescott after signing him to a four-year, $240 million extension in 2024, which includes $129 million guaranteed and a no-trade clause.

His cap hit jumps to $76 million in 2027, making it challenging for the franchise to move him if necessary. With three losses, the Cowboys face a critical period. They travel to Indianapolis next before hosting the 49ers, Titans, and Eagles. If the team fails to secure wins, Prescott's future with the Cowboys may indeed be in jeopardy.
