Cowboys re-sign QB Dak Prescott (4 years, $160 million; $126 million guaranteed): D Grade
The Cowboys caved, and Dak Prescott obtained everything he wanted. Not only will he be getting $126 million guaranteed; he also has a no-trade clause.
The only positive concerning this trade is that we don't have to deal with the media complaining about Prescott not being paid. The Cowboys are giving Prescott way too much money, as they clearly have not learned the lesson that other teams have endured from giving third-tier quarterbacks contracts like this. Dallas can just look at the Vikings (Kirk Cousins), Ravens (Joe Flacco) and other franchises that have destroyed their roster by dedicating too many funds to non-elite quarterbacks.
And no, Prescott is not elite. The stats may say otherwise, but most of Prescott's production has come in garbage time or against bad competition. He's had no success in the playoffs, and it's not even clear if he'll be 100 percent coming off his brutal injury. The Cowboys should have continued to franchise Prescott like the Commanders once smartly did with Cousins. Instead, they're going to have to implode their roster soon, much like the Vikings have done recently because of Cousins' contract.
