If the Dallas Cowboys want to shake up their core this offseason, they could do so by trading Pro Bowl quarterback Dak Prescott for a package of assets that would allow them to retool on the fly.
Prescott, who turns 31 years of age in July, is entering the final season of a four-year extension he signed during the 2021 offseason.
Per ESPN’s Field Yates, Prescott agreed to restructure his contract for the Cowboys on Sunday in order to clear up $4 million in cap space. Yates made an important note in that the move “does not prevent the team and Prescott from further negotiating a long-term extension.”
But Jerry Jones and company have to decide if they really want to commit long-term to a QB on the wrong side of 30 who has a woeful 2-5 postseason record. If the Cowboys really want to do something bold, they should trade Prescott for a bundle of picks and rebuild their roster around a younger QB.
The Las Vegas Raiders especially make sense as a landing spot for Prescott. They have enough veteran pieces (Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, Maxx Crosby and Christian Wilkins) to remain competitive, but the once-proud franchise can’t expect to compete for championships with a QB room of Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew II.
So imagine how much further this Raiders team could go with the OTHER No. 4 behind center.
What The Raiders Should Offer For Dak Prescott
If Dak Prescott is willing to sign an extension with the Raiders, Antonio Pierce and company shouldn’t be hesitant to offer multiple first-round selections.
A fair package would be O’Connell, the No. 13 and No. 112 selections in this year’s draft plus 2025 first and third-round picks for Prescott. O’Connell at the very least would be a bridge QB until the Cowboys find their new long-term starter, but the real value here is the trio of early-round picks.
With four first-rounders over the next two drafts, the Cowboys could even look at packaging some of those picks to move up for a QB this year (J.J. McCarthy and Bo Nix come to mind). Or they could try and make a move for another veteran QB next year.
Moving on from Prescott opens up plenty of possibilities for Dallas. And if you’re Vegas, you finally have a top-10 NFL QB to compete with the many elite signal-callers in the AFC. It’s the perfect trade for everyone involved.
