Dak Prescott Issued Warning About Possibly Leaving Cowboys
Dak Prescott should maybe think twice about leaving the Dallas Cowboys.
With Prescott on the verge of entering the final year of his deal with the Cowboys, there’s speculation regarding whether or not the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback will leave the Cowboys next offseason. While Prescott will have no shortage of suitors in free agency if he chooses to go down that route, former head coach Herm Edwards warns the NFL MVP runner-up of thinking twice when it comes to leaving Dallas.
While appearing ESPN’s First Take on Wednesday, July 3, the 70-year-old former coach argues that Prescott is not going to play for a better team if he decides to leave the Cowboys.
“You’re not going to play for a better team,” Edwards said about Prescott. “Who challenges him? The [Philadelphia Eagles]. The [Detroit Lions]…[Green Bay Packers], [San Francisco 49ers], that’s who they got to deal with. That’s who Dak has to deal with to get to the Super Bowl. And that’s what he understands. If you understand that and say, ‘Well, hey, I got the best team I can play on right now. I go somewhere else, I got to start over.’”
Why Dak Prescott Should Consider Staying With Cowboys
Edwards makes a fair point considering the NFC as a conference itself is stacked. All of the aforementioned teams already have franchise quarterbacks in Jalen Hurts, Jared Goff, Jordan Love and Brock Purdy. To make matters worse, the AFC — which is seen as the stronger conference — already have teams with franchise quarterbacks locked in on long-term contracts such as Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow.
