Dak Prescott’s Bright Future with Cowboys
With the football season just around the corner, excitement is building for what’s to come in the 2024 NFL season. A major focus this year is on Dak Prescott and his future with the Dallas Cowboys.
Prescott finds himself entering the last year of his four-year, $160 million contract, and he’s not alone—receiver CeeDee Lamb and defensive star Micah Parsons are also looking to secure their big paydays. As usual, the Cowboys are at the forefront of attention in the league.
Coming off a stellar 2023 season, Prescott led the league with 36 touchdown passes and ranked third in passing yards with 4,516. His impressive performances earned him a spot on this year’s NFL Top 100 Players list. However, with a hefty $55 million cap hit and a no-trade clause, everyone is curious about the direction he will take.
Will the Cowboys manage to negotiate a new deal with him, or could Prescott explore free agency? The answers to these burning questions are yet to be revealed. However, insights from the new Madden 25 video game have offered a glimpse into a potential outcome.
Recently, some gamers got early access to Madden 25, and a simulated season was run to see how Dallas might fare in 2024. In this simulation, Prescott experienced a victorious start to the season, winning the first two games against Cleveland and New Orleans, which paved the way for an agreement on a new contract between Prescott and the Cowboys.
Signing a three-year deal worth $146 million, Prescott also watched as Lamb received a new contract following their week two victory. Ultimately, Prescott capped off the season with an impressive 14-3 record, ranking as the top team in the NFL.
With nearly 4,000 passing yards, 32 touchdowns, just six interceptions, and a 113 QB Rating—not to mention completing 70% of his passes—Prescott had a remarkable year.
But the journey didn’t stop there. The Cowboys secured the No. 1 seed in the NFC and fought their way past the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles, making it to Super Bowl LIX against the Baltimore Ravens.
In an exhilarating game, Prescott threw five touchdown passes and no interceptions, leading the Cowboys to a thrilling 35-29 victory, bringing home the franchise’s sixth Lombardi trophy.
