Cowboys committed to Dak Prescott, open to extension

Despite his Dallas Cowboys winning 12 games during the regular season and earning a rare playoff victory, the 2022 season did not go too swimmingly for Dak Prescott.

Prescott led the NFL in interceptions with 15 during despite missing five games to injury.

In Dallas’ NFC divisional playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Prescott threw another two interceptions. It was an ugly end to an odd off year for the two-time Pro Bowl quarterback.

At least on the NFL rumor mill, this led to speculation that Dallas could attempt to trade Prescott and find an upgrade at quarterback.

It doesn’t look like that is going to happen. According to Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News, Cowboys CEO Stephen Jones says that the team is committed to Prescott long term. In fact, Dallas is willing to discuss a contract extension with the embattled quarterback.

There are a few different things that come to mind here. First off, Prescott’s down 2022 season doesn’t discount what he’s done in the past.

After all, the Cowboys are 61-36 with Prescott as their starter since he joined the team as a fourth-round pick back in 2016. Secondly, the limited number of options available to Dallas as potential upgrades make finding a new QB impractical.
