The Dallas Cowboys entered the 2024 season with high hopes and bold declarations, promising an “all in” approach to finally end their playoff drought.<\/p>\n
What followed, however, was a disappointing campaign marred by injuries, underwhelming roster decisions, and fierce competition that left the team near the bottom of the standings.<\/p>\n
While the Cowboys couldn’t control the injury bug or the strength of their opponents, their lack of meaningful offseason upgrades was a self-inflicted setback. Despite their vocal commitment to success, the front office failed to back it up with action-leaving quarterback Dak Prescott to carry the burden with limited support.<\/p>\n
That burden became too much when Prescott<\/strong> suffered a season-ending hamstring injury, prematurely ending what had already become a lost year.<\/p>\n Yet as the 2025 season approaches, there’s renewed hope in Dallas, largely due to Prescott’s expected return<\/strong> at full strength and a handful of key offseason moves that suggest a new urgency from the franchise.<\/p>\n Not everyone is convinced that the Cowboys are fully committed to Prescott<\/strong>. On a recent episode of The Athletic Football Show, NFL analyst Robert Mays<\/strong> floated the idea that Dallas could be open to trading their franchise quarterback-for the right price.<\/p>\n “If you called the Cowboys right now and said, ‘We’ll give you three first-round picks for Dak,’ I think they would do it,” Mays <\/strong>said, speculating that Dallas might consider dealing Prescott if they could clear his contract and land major draft capital.<\/p>\n While that may be an intriguing hypothetical, the reality is much different. Prescott’s injury history <\/strong>and looming cap hits make him a risky investment for any team. But more importantly, Dallas structured a massive extension for Prescott<\/strong> not to flip him for picks-but to win now.<\/p>\n And for the first time in years, their roster decisions reflect that belief.<\/p>\n This offseason, the Cowboys acquired wide receiver George Pickens,<\/strong> giving Prescott <\/strong>a legitimate secondary target to pair with CeeDee Lamb.<\/strong> They also addressed protection issues by selecting Alabama offensive lineman Tyler Booker<\/strong> in the first round of the draft. These moves, rooted in immediate impact, signal a shift toward genuine contention.<\/p>\n That’s why trade speculation, while popular among media talking heads, likely won’t materialize into anything serious. Dallas has built their hopes around Prescott, <\/strong>and the front office is finally giving him the tools to succeed. The plan isn’t to move on-it’s to move forward.<\/p>\n The coming seasons will determine whether that strategy pays off. But for now, the Cowboys are sticking with their quarterback, fully aware that a healthy and well-supported Dak Prescott <\/strong>remains their best shot at returning to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Dallas Cowboys entered the 2024 season with high hopes and bold declarations, promising an “all in” approach to finally end their playoff drought.
