Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott made a promise this week that he won’t be as reckless with the ball in 2023 as he was last season. Prescott led the league in interceptions in 2022 with 15 picks and did it while playing just 12 games.

Speaking with reporters on Monday, Prescott touched on the subject of interceptions and said he believes they won’t be an issue this year because head coach Mike McCarthy will be calling plays.

“Some of it is the offense and them understanding exactly where we are,” Prescott said. “Mike does an amazing job with those guys [wide receivers]. They know where to be, and why to be when they’re getting looked at. That’s going to be a big jump. “

Prescott also made a bold promise that he won’t be in double digits in interceptions this upcoming season.

“I won’t have 10 interceptions this year,” he stated.

While picks haven’t been much of an issue early in Prescott’s career, he has been quite interception-prone in recent years. He was intercepted 10 or more times in three of his past four seasons. The one year he didn’t reach double-digit interceptions was 2020 when he had 4. However, he only played five games that year and was on pace to throw at least 10 interceptions if he had continued to be on the field.

The Dallas Cowboys answered the question about whether they are legitimate Super Bowl contenders on Monday Night. In a dominant performance, America’s team beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-14 to set up a Divisional Round playoff meeting with the San Francisco 49ers.

Both teams started the game sluggish, combining for four straight punts before Dallas went 80 yards down the field to break the deadlock. This opened the floodgates, as the Cowboys were unstoppable from that point on.

Dallas was 18-0 at the half and up 24-0 to start the third quarter, with Tampa Bay unable to get their offense going. The Bucs only managed to get on the scoreboard late in the third and added another meaningless touchdown just before the two-minute warning to ease the blow.

The star of the show was the Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott, who completed 25 passes out of 33 attempted while throwing for 305 yards and four touchdowns. Prescott also added one touchdown on the ground, being responsible for all of Dallas’ points in the game.

On the other hand, veteran Tom Brady struggled for the better part of the game. The Bucs’ QB completed just above 50 percent of his passes while throwing for 351 yards and two TDs. He also threw one red zone interception.

The Cowboys now travel to Levi’s Stadium on Sunday to take on the 49ers and their standout rookie QB Brock Purdy. The Bucs head to the offseason with question marks about Brady’s future and the direction of the franchise.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a calf injury during his team’s 35-29 overtime victory against the New England Patriots on Sunday. As a result, the 28-year-old QB had to undergo an MRI scan on Monday.

“Life keeps throwing punches, and I’m going to keep throwing them back,” an optimistic Prescott declared following his team’s resounding victory. He also confirmed to the press that the walking boot that he was wearing was simply a precautionary measure until further information on the injury could be determined.

Prescott landed in an awkward position after making a 35-yard throw. He immediately ran to the sideline afterward.

While Prescott insisted that he would have managed to continue the game had his team not been in the lead, the quarterback decided to play it safe, particularly after his injury history. Last October, Prescott suffered a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle.

Prior to his injury, Prescott delivered an impactful performance against the Patriots, completing 36 of 51 passes for 445 yards. He also contributed to three touchdowns.

The Cowboys have enjoyed a strong start to the season, with their only defeat this far coming against the Tampa Bay Buccanneers.

The Dallas Cowboys have just entered the tier of NFL teams that have long-term security at the quarterback position. The organization finally managed to agree to a new contract with Dak Prescott, officially announcing the news on Monday via social media. 

The Cowboys didn’t disclose details about the agreement, but the NFL Network reported that Prescott inked a four-year deal worth $160 million. The contract comes with $126 million guaranteed and $66 million worth of a signing bonus. This is the largest signing bonus received by a player in NFL history.

The new deal for Dak Prescott was almost three years in the making and well-publicized. The negotiations took wrong turns at various stages, with the two sides being unable to come to terms about the contract length and guaranteed money. Reportedly, Dallas was insisting on a five-year agreement while Prescott’s representatives wanted a four-year contract.

After being unable to come to terms ahead of the 2020 NFL season, the Cowboys placed a $31.4 million franchise tag on Prescott. The 27-year-old signal-caller responded with an impressive five-game stretch, in which he threw for 1,856 yards and nine touchdowns before suffering a season-ending ankle injury.

Despite all the obstacles, Dallas and Prescott wanted to remain together, which ended up pushing the deal through. This will now allow both parties to operate without pressure in the 2021 NFL season and work together towards bringing the Cowboys back to Super Bowl.

Prescott, a fourth-round pick in 2016, has been the Cowboys’ starting quarterback for the past five years. He led the team to a 42–27 record during that period, and his stint under center resulted in two playoff appearances for the team.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has agreed to sign a franchise tag with his team this week, which will give the franchise a few weeks to work out a long-term deal with their star signal-caller.

Prescott, who has developed into one of the biggest stars at the position in the league since being drafted in the 4th round of the 2016 NFL Draft, will earn a big raise after spending the first four seasons of his career on his modest rookie deal.

The Mississippi State alum is set to make $31.4 million this season after signing the franchise tag. However, Prescott’s main goal will be to sign a long-term deal that will provide him with this sort of money over multiple seasons in pre-training camp contract negotiations.

Prescott has twice been named a Pro Bowler and has thrown for 97 touchdowns and only 36 interceptions since coming into the league and winning the starting job for Dallas in 2016.

Perhaps even more impressive has been Prescott’s durability and consistency. The signal caller has played in and started all 64 regular season games of his professional career, and has also started all three of his team’s playoff games during his tenure.

Now, Cowboy fans must wait and see if their team is able to reach a deal with their star quarterback to remain in Dallas for the long-term.

It’s no secret that the Dallas Cowboys got quite a bargain on the quarterback position in recent years as starter Dak Prescott played on a cheap rookie deal. According to Hall of Famer and former Cowboys’ wide receiver Michael Irvin, this is the reason the team shouldn’t now be hesitant to sign Prescott on a massive extension.

The Cowboys and Prescott have been negotiating an extension for more than a year now but haven’t been able to close a deal, which caused Dallas to franchise tag the 26-year-old. Reportedly, there is a disconnect between the two sides in both value of the deal and the length.

During a recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Irvin was asked to comment on the situation, and Cowboys’ legend expressed optimism about the outcome.

“Dak has done everything and he has won,” said Irvin. “He has won a lot of football games in his first four years. So to say he doesn’t deserve the money isn’t totally correct. He does deserve the money. That’s the market, and he’s a starting, winning quarterback in the NFL. It’s just a matter of getting it done. And I think they’ll get it done.”

According to several reports, Dallas has been offering a yearly salary of around $35 million, while the player wants to break the record and is pushing somewhere close to $40 million. Irvin believes that Cowboys should accept his terms as they “stole four years” of Prescott while he was on a rookie deal.

“The kind of investment you want to make, the kind of guy you say, ‘Yeah, we hit it with this guy. We got him in the fourth round.’ You stole four years, so whatever he gets he deserves because you still owe him back pay,” he added.

Dak Prescott was ever-present for Dallas Cowboys since entering the league, starting all 64 games and posting 40-24 record. He also led the Cowboys to two playoff appearances and has a playoff win on his resume.

Still, due to the fact that he was a fourth-round pick, Prescott only earned $2.7 million over the course of his career. This is why he has every right to ask for a big payday, and why he’ll probably get it despite Dallas’ attempts to get a discount.

Dallas Cowboys made another attempt to resume contract negotiations with their quarterback Dak Prescott. According to ESPN, Cowboys made a new offer to Prescott in an attempt to get the deal done before the franchise tag deadline on Thursday.

Cowboys and Prescott have been engaged in negotiations for more than a year, and the attempts to get an agreement haven’t proved fruitful until now. Dallas is reportedly pushing for a team-friendly deal while the player is looking to reset the QB market. The two sides haven’t been talking since September and only resumed negotiations at the scouting combine in Indianapolis in late February.

ESPN’s Todd Archer reports that Dallas’ offer is worth more than $100 million, with Prescott set to receive $33 million a year if he accepts the deal. This wasn’t enough for the 26-year-old to ink the contract, however, and he is ready to wait for a better proposal.

In case the deal doesn’t get done soon, Dallas Cowboys will probably use a franchise tag on Dak Prescott. If Cowboys opt for an exclusive tag, Prescott will earn $33 million in 2020 while being ineligible to talk with other teams. In case of a common franchise tag, Prescott would earn $27 million, but would be able to negotiate a contract with another franchise and see whether Dallas would match it.

Prescott had a career year in 2019, completing 65.1 percent of his passes for 4,902 yards and 30 touchdowns. This, however, didn’t lead to wins as Cowboys finished the season with 8-8 record and missed the playoffs.

Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott spent the majority of the past year negotiating an extension, but didn’t manage to strike a deal until now. And, as recent reports suggest, they are still a long way from finding an agreement.

According to NFL Network and ESPN, the most likely outcome of this situation will be Cowboys placing a franchise tag on Prescott. However, they added that neither side would be happy with this solution.

Reportedly, Dallas would like to resolve the situation quickly and will continue to insist on a long-term deal in the next weeks. Prescott, after playing on a $2 million contract last season, would also like the long-term security, but isn’t willing to budge from his terms in order to get it right away.

The biggest issue in the talks is the determination of Prescott’s value. Reports say that Dallas is willing to make Prescott among the most paid QBs in the league, but that isn’t enough for the player. The 26-year-old two-times Pro Bowler instead wants to reset the QB market and become the highest-paid player on the position.

Prescott rejected the contract offer last offseason and instead decided to bet on himself in 2019. Although he had career year statistically, throwing for 4,902 and 30 touchdowns, this didn’t translate into wins. Cowboys missed the playoffs, finishing with 8-8, which is something that the front office is probably using it as leverage in the negotiations.

Despite starting every game for the Dallas Cowboys in the last three years, quarterback Dak Prescott was one of the least paid QBs in the league last season, earning $630,000 in 2018. He is looking to change that soon and is currently negotiating a new contract extension with the Cowboys although two sides are yet not close to the deal. Still, the fans shouldn’t be worried about the negotiations too much, as it seems like Prescott is determined to play out his career in Dallas.

“I want to be a Cowboy forever,” – said Prescott in a recent interview published on the Cowboys’ official website. “I think the people that are doing the deal feel the same way so to me it’s no rush. I know it will get done.”

According to Prescott, he isn’t too worried about the contract extension and rather focuses on becoming a better football player.

“My whole focus is within the locker room,” – he added. “I’ve got people that take care of that. I’ve got a great team, team of agents. That’s their job. Jerry has said when he’s had to that they are negotiating but as far as I’m concerned, it’s just about getting better, getting better as quarterback, getting better as a leader and just making sure our team is getting better.”

Dak Prescott was drafted in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, and initially supposed to be a backup for veteran Tony Romo. After Romo got injured in the preseason, Prescott assumed the role of a starter in at the beginning of his rookie season and hasn’t looked back since. He is currently the QB with most wins (33) since 2016 after New England Patriots’ Tom Brady.

During his three years in the NFL, Prescott completed 66.1 percent of his passes for 10,876 yards and 67 touchdowns in the regular season. He also rushed for 944 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Giving a big contract extension to defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence was just a beginning of an impending spending spree for Dallas Cowboys. The team is now looking to extend quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper in order to keep their core intact and have a competitive roster for years to come.

Cowboys’ executive vice president Stephen Jones recently made an appearance on 105.3 The Fan and discussed Prescott and Cooper’s contract extensions saying that the organization has “active discussions” about the matter with their two stars.

“Yeah, we’re always open to looking at things,” – said Jones. “Certainly if there are opportunities there that make sense, then we’ll progress. I think pretty much everybody’s on it pretty good that there’s some pretty active discussions now with Dak and Amari, but it doesn’t mean that some can’t pick up in short order with other players that we have on our roster that we certainly want to keep here in Dallas and have them remain Cowboys in the future.”

Both Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper are currently entering the final years of their rookie contracts which makes the matter more urgent for Dallas. Re-signing Cooper, who will earn $13.924 million in 2019, might not be such a difficult since Cowboys expect him to ask for a contract that carries a similar yearly value. Talks with Prescott, on the other hand, might be more troublesome.

Given the fact that Prescott was a fourth-round pick, he was making a lot less than a usual starting QB in NFL and is set to earn just around $2 million in 2019. This makes it likely for him to ask for a huge deal in order to make up for the difference. Cowboys, on the other hand, are not sure they are ready to invest such money in a quarterback that got them to just one playoff win in three seasons. One thing is for sure, however; both parties are in for long negotiations.
