Dak Prescott Restructures Contract

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has restructured his contract on Friday. Both Prescott and right guard Zack Martin have agreed to new deals. These restructures will save the organization nearly $30 million in cap space. This is certainly going to help, but won't solve all the Cowboys issues. They still need to figure out what to do with running back Ezekiel Elliott who is owed $16 million for the upcoming season. Elliott will need to take a pay cut or it could result in the organization releasing him in order to save money.

Cowboys To Run The Ball More In 2023?

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy and previous offensive coordinator Kellen Moore had their differences in offensive philosophy, which is why the team parted ways with Moore after the 2022 season. "Kellen wants to light the scoreboard up. But I want to run the damn ball so I can rest my defense," McCarthy said. "I don't desire to be the No. 1 offense in the league. I want to be the No. 1 team in the league with a number of wins and a championship." Brian Schottenheimer is Dallas' new offensive coordinator, and it looks as though they'll lean more heavily on the ground game in 2023. It's bad news for quarterback Dak Prescott and top wideout CeeDee Lamb, but it will be good news for Tony Pollard if they can re-sign him in free agency.

Cowboys Eyeing Another Dak Prescott Extension, Likely To Use Franchise Tag

Finalized at the March 2021 deadline for teams to apply franchise tags to players, Dak Prescott‘s four-year, $160MM deal remains one of the league’s most player-friendly agreements. The Cowboys have twice restructured it, and the contract calls for a whopping cap number this year. Prescott is tied to a $49.13MM figure. No player has ever […]

Mike McCarthy To Call Plays In 2023

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that head coach Mike McCarthy will call the offensive plays in 2023, and a version of the offenses he ran with the Green Bay Packers will be coming to Dallas. It will be the first time the Cowboys' head coach has also called offensive plays since Jason Garrett did so in 2012. It will also be quarterback Dak Prescott's first scheme chance in his career with the team. Dallas agreed to part ways with previous offensive coordinator Kellen Moore after the season, and executive vice president Stephen Jones hinted at differences in opinion between Moore and McCarthy. Dallas has interviewed Jeff Nixon and Thomas Brown for their coordinator vacancy, but it's been established that McCarthy will be running the offense in 2023.

Cowboys Open To Extension For Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that the team is committed to quarterback Dak Prescott long term and are open to extending his contract. Prescott is currently under contract with the Cowboys through the 2026 season, but the Cowboys aren't ruling out extending him further this offseason. The bottom line is that Prescott isn't going anywhere. The 29-year-old signal-caller just wrapped up his seventh season in the NFL and finished with a 66.2% completion percentage, 2,860 yards, 23 touchdowns and a career-high 15 interceptions in only 12 regular season games due to a broken right hand suffered early in the year. He should bounce back in 2023 with better health, but Prescott will also be working with a new offensive coordinator.

Dak Prescott Throws Two Picks In Divisional Round Loss

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott wasn't at his best in a Divisional Round loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Prescott completed 23 of his 37 passes for 206 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Prescott led the league in picks this season and added two more before wrapping up his campaign. He added four carries for 22 yards, most of which were critical gains. Dak missed five games with his thumb injury early in the season, but was a QB1 by points per game when he was active. He should once again be a low-end QB1 next season assuming he can stay healthy.

Dak Prescott Risky But With Upside For The Divisional Round

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a risky but high upside choice for the Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers. Prescott put up a huge game in the Wild Card Round, totaling 37 fantasy points with his four touchdown passes and one rushing score. But he'll have to face the league's top defensive unit in San Francisco so it's not farfetched to think the Cowboys will struggle to move the ball at least to some extent. Still, Prescott showed what he's capable of when the Dallas offense is clicking. It's a typical high ceiling/low floor decision for fantasy players to make.

Dak Prescott Excels On Wild Card Weekend With Five Touchdowns

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was outstanding in a Wild Card Round victory over the Tampa Bay Bucs. In a commanding 31-14 win, Prescott completed 25 of his 33 passes for 305 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions. He also ran the ball seven times for 24 yards and another touchdown. He only took one sack, losing eight yards. Dak was in command all game, picking apart the Bucs usually solid defense with ease. He threw two touchdowns to Dalton Schultz and one each to CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup. The Cowboys will take on the 49ers in the next round.

Jason Peters To Start At Left Tackle For Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys will start Jason Peters at left tackle on Monday night in the wild-card playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which will be just his second start of the year. It will be Dallas' fifth offensive line combination of the season. Peters will be making his seventh playoff appearance, a sign that the Cowboys won't shy away from the passing game against Tampa. The nine-time Pro Bowler played in only 10 games in his first season with the Cowboys in 2022. Normal left tackle Tyler Smith had shifted to guard the last couple weeks after the injury to center Tyler Biadasz. Peters is probably more than capable of protecting quarterback Dak Prescott's blind side, but it will something to keep a close eye on for Monday night's contest.

Mike McCarthy's Job Believed To Be Safe

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy's job is believed to be safe no matter the result of the team's wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night, according to owner Jerry Jones. Even top head-coaching candidate and former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton doesn't consider the Cowboys job to be an option this offseason. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott called questions about McCarthy's job security "comical, in a sense." "Back-to-back 12 wins in y'all tell me how long and we're talking about a guy's job in jeopardy? That just shows you when you play for this organization what comes with it," Prescott said. Dallas hasn't won a road playoff game in 30 years nor advanced to a conference championship game in 27 years.

Dak Prescott Looks To Bounce Back In The Playoffs

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott didn't have a great end to the regular season but could be a solid bounce back candidate in the first week of the playoffs. Prescott finished as the QB14 in Week 17 and the QB22 in Week 18, combining for just 26 fantasy points total in the two final weeks of the season. He'll face a Tampa Bay Bucs defense that was 18th against opposing quarterbacks this season. Prescott finished as the QB31 when these two teams faced off earlier this season, but that was all the way back in Week 1. Dak is a solid option in what could be a high scoring game.

Dak Prescott May Not Have A Huge Game In Week 18

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott may not have a huge performance in a Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders. The Commanders defense is decent against pass catchers and not so great against the running game, so the Cowboys may lean on the run game with both Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott. Prescott has been very good this year and had some big fantasy games, but Week 18 could be a game where he just doesn't throw enough to put up big numbers. He's still a high-end QB2 because of the possible upside.
