In a surprising turn of events, the new contract for quarterback Jared Goff has given Dak Prescott even more leverage in contract negotiations with the Dallas Cowboys. Goff’s new deal, which averages $53 million per year, has shifted the power dynamic in Prescott’s favor as he looks to secure a lucrative contract extension.
Prescott already had leverage due to his high cap number and impending free agency in 2025, but the Goff deal has provided even more reason for him to push for a higher salary. The Cowboys, known for their tendency to drag their feet in contract negotiations with key players, including Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, CeeDee Lamb, and potentially Micah Parsons, may now face the consequences of waiting too long.
The Goff deal serves as a perfect example of how delaying contract negotiations can lead to higher costs for teams. With Prescott now in a stronger negotiating position, the Cowboys may be forced to rethink their strategy and offer a more lucrative deal to keep their star quarterback happy.
There is speculation that the Cowboys may gamble on letting Prescott hit the open market in hopes that he will eventually accept their best offer. However, the Goff deal has raised the bar for quarterback salaries, making it reasonable for Prescott to hold out for a higher contract value.
As the negotiations between Prescott and the Cowboys continue, fans and experts alike will be eagerly watching to see how this high-stakes game of chess plays out. Will Prescott ultimately secure the hefty payday he deserves, or will the Cowboys risk losing their franchise quarterback over a difference in contract value? Only time will tell.
