Perhaps the most looming question revolves around the future of Dak Prescott.<\/p>\n<p>With uncertainties surrounding Prescott\u2019s contract negotiations and the team\u2019s overall outlook, there\u2019s a possibility that the Cowboys could face a setback this year. However, it seems unlikely they would plummet so far as to become sellers at the trade deadline. But, if they were to find themselves in such a scenario, one analyst envisions a dramatic move on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>In an article outlining bold predictions for the 2024 season, Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report suggests that the Cowboys could trade Prescott to a contender in need of a quarterback. Speculating potential landing spots, Gagnon mentions teams like the Las Vegas Raiders and Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n<p>Gagnon acknowledges that the Cowboys\u2019 fall from contention seems improbable (and he\u2019s probably right), but he entertains the bold scenario nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>While the odds may seem slim, I\u2019m personally betting on the Philadelphia Eagles as the clear favorites in the NFC East. They boast a wealth of talent and are poised for a rebound, whereas Dallas appears set for regression.<\/p>\n<p>If such a regression materializes, the Cowboys might contemplate parting ways with Prescott, who, despite his talents, has only delivered two playoff victories and struggled with interceptions in recent postseason losses.<\/p>\n<p>Midseason quarterback trades are rare, but the circumstances could align here. A contender suffering a major quarterback injury or a team like Las Vegas or Seattle exceeding expectations despite their quarterback situation could trigger a blockbuster trade involving Prescott.<\/p>\n<p>Trading Prescott would signal a significant shift for the Cowboys, potentially signaling a partial rebuild despite retaining other key talents. It would be a bold move, possibly indicating a reset at the quarterback position.<\/p>\n<p>Whether Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would entertain such a move remains uncertain. Nevertheless, if the season doesn\u2019t unfold as planned and the Cowboys aren\u2019t prepared to meet Prescott\u2019s contract demands, it\u2019s a scenario worth contemplating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Cowboys\u2019 offseason in 2024 has been rather uneventful, lacking significant roster improvements, and leaving several pressing questions unanswered\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":23897,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[1802],"class_list":["post-760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-sports","tag-nfl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/760\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
