The Dallas Cowboys are heading into one of the biggest seasons in franchise history, with head coach Mike McCarthy entering the year on the hot seat. If things don’t change, he will not see the 2025 season, and quarterback Dak Prescott is entering the last year of his contract, which means he could also be out the door.
If Dallas Cowboys and Prescott end their relationship after this season, the team will have a few options to replace their Pro Bowl quarterback. One could be the current backup, Trey Lance, whose fifth-year option was declined, but they could sign him back on a cheap deal. They could also sign a veteran quarterback or trade for one, and of course, they can find one in the NFL Draft.
Dallas Cowboys Take Shedeur Sanders
Sheduer Sanders is the current starting quarterback at Colorado and plays for his father, Deion Sanders, who is going into his second season as the Buffaloes’ head coach. Sanders is supposed to be one of the best quarterbacks in college this season and in the NFL Draft. Last season, he had a very good first year as a starter in Division One FBS football, throwing for 3,230 yards, 27 touchdowns, and only three interceptions.
In this mock draft, Dallas takes Sanders with the 25th pick, which means they had a pretty good season since they are picking late. However, they replace Prescott and move into a new era. Here is what was written about the Cowboys taking Sanders.
Slipping all the way to the back end of the first round here due to questionable arm talent and sack aviodance ability, the Cowboys pounce on Shedeur Sanders here. The Cowboys are seemingly poised to let a top-10 quarterback walk out the door in Dak Prescott, so they will need to pray for a plan moving forward. Sanders may just give them hope.
The Dallas Cowboys have a lot of decisions to make after this season, and if Prescott can play like he did last year, then there is a good chance he will be back with the team in 2025. However, if he has an average season, then there is a good chance he will not be back next season.
