As the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott enter a pivotal year for everyone involved with the franchise, they need to get the long-term sorted out as well. Prescott is in the final year of his four-year deal with the team, and while the expectation is that they'll find a compromise, hitting free agency remains a possibility.
When asked about his contract situation and how negotiations are going, the quarterback told reporters that, regarding his new deal, he was a "gambling man" and would gamble on his play — only to realize his words weren't the best for an NFL player, while also joking with the reporters.
NFL fans, however, didn't waste the opportunity of reading into Prescott's words and playing that he might involve his new deal in some sort of bet:
"Hope Dak's gambling skills are as sharp as his passing game!" said another fan.
"Saying this with the blockchain & Cowboys logo in the background is hilarious. The NFL don't mind gambling if they can make a slice," one fan pointed out.
"Oh oh! After he said that, Jerry Jones retracted his 'all in' statement!" another joked.
Dak Prescott's salary
The Dallas Cowboys quarterback is in the final season on a four-year, $160 contract he signed before the 2021 season. He has a base salary of $29 million for 2024 while holding a cap hit of $55.45 million, the highest on the Cowboys' roster and the second-highest in the entire league for 2024.
What's Dak Prescott's record in the postseason?
Prescott has played in seven playoff games, winning two and losing five. His most recent postseason game was against the Green Bay Packers when the Cowboys suffered a major upset during the 2023 wild card round in the NFC and had to endure another season without winning a ring.
That's the biggest problem with Prescott, according to his doubters: his lack of playoff success. The quarterback plays at a high level, but once the lights get brighter, his level diminishes. If he wants to earn top-of-the-market money with just two playoff wins in eight seasons, he'll be disappointed with the team.
