Many believe that Dak Prescott will not be the quarterback to lead the Dallas Cowboys to a Super Bowl victory, something they haven't seen in 29 years. And rather than bringing them closer, some say he may push them further away by being one of the highest-paid players in Jerry Jones' franchise.
The team's owner chose to make Prescott the face of the team, g him to a four-year, $240 million contract. This decision has caused significant issues for the organization, leaving fans far from pleased.
Jalen Hurts Makes Sacrifices for the Eagles
Unlike Jalen Hurts, Prescott's contract doesn't offer much relief for the Dallas Cowboys' salary cap. Although the team restructured Prescott's contract to reduce its impact to $53 million from the original $89.9 million, many still question whether it was a smart financial move - especially when comparing how other elite quarterbacks handle their contracts.
The Philadelphia Eagles, for instance, signed Jalen Hurts to a five-year, $255 million deal, yet his salary cap impact in 2025 will only be $21.3 million, a much more manageable figure for a team with a franchise quarterback.
As a result, the Cowboys are facing financial limitations in free agency, and their fans are voicing their frustrations. A quick scroll through the social media platform "X" reveals just how unhappy they are.
