In the majority of the 2023 NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys were one of the top teams in the league, with quarterback Dak Prescott showing potential to win the NFL MVP award. However, Prescott’s chances for the MVP title were dashed after a disappointing performance against the Buffalo Bills late in the season. From that point on, the 2023 campaign went downhill for Dallas, and they were unable to regain their dominant form.
Entering the NFL playoffs as the second seed in the NFC, the Cowboys were considered strong contenders with a real chance to win it all. However, they underestimated the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the playoffs. Jordan Love and his team thoroughly defeated the Cowboys on their home turf in Arlington, Texas.
Despite their underwhelming postseason performance, Prescott is still expected to receive a lucrative contract extension from the Cowboys. Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report believes that Prescott could reset the quarterback market and earn around $60 million this season. This is due to his exceptional play throughout the year and the fact that he cannot be tagged next offseason.
Schultz also noted that team owner Jerry Jones is not willing to start over at the quarterback position and is willing to take a gamble on Prescott. However, this decision could prove to be costly, especially considering the impending big paydays for other key players like Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb.
