Philadelphia Eagles fans were excited Sunday morning after a report on Dak Prescott’s future with the Dallas Cowboys. According to Ian Rapoport with the NFL Network, the Cowboys are expected to give Prescott a contract extension after the season:
“NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday on NFL GameDay Morning that Prescott and the Cowboys are expected to work out a long-term contract extension this offseason that will make Dak one of the highest-paid QBs in the league.
Any potential extension — while warranted by Prescott’s play on the field this season — also serves as a practical bookkeeping measure. Prescott currently sits to carry a $59.455 million salary-cap hit in 2024 — the final year of a four-year, $160 million contract signed in 2021.
Such a cap hit would significantly hinder what Dallas could do during free agency — the team also has extensions for young stars Micah Parsonsand CeeDee Lamb on its to-do list — so expect talks to ramp up once the season ends.”
Prescott has completed 288 of his 411 passes this season for 3,234 yards, 26 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Prescott’s play is a major reason why the Cowboys have a 9-3 record.
Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys fans react
Prescott could be looking at a salary near $60 million per year. That would mean the Cowboys might have fewer weapons and offensive line help to put around Prescott in the future because of the salary cap implications. We’ll see if that impedes Prescott’s abilities in future seasons.
Most Cowboys fans think Prescott is deserving of a high-paying extension. But Eagles fans seem excited about the contract hampering the Cowboys’ future. Here are the best takes on social media of fans reacting to the report on Prescott’s impending extension.
Dak is a genius
He is fooling the entire Dallas Cowboys franchise by beating up scrubs which then makes it seem like he’s a great QB when he’s not
Gotta respect dak for robbing the Dallas Cowboys blind these last few years. He’s doing more good for the eagles then he realizes🫡 https://t.co/LYB84MGFyI

Hope Dak considers a team friendly deal to get more, better players. Need a right tackle in the worst way.

As an Eagles fan, I like Dak Prescott. I like him a helluva lot more than Carson Wentz. I may not like cowboys… but I wanna see the man get paid. He’s a good man.

I’m no fan of Dak but if Daniel Jomes can get a ridiculous extra soon, Dak absolutely deserves an even more ridiculous contract.
