February 2021 began with rumors about Prescott’s contract, as reports hint at the Cowboys gearing up to offer a similar deal to the quarterback. As per retired NFL star and radio show host Dan Sileo, the Cowboys are looking to offer Prescott a 5-year, $175 million deal this year as well.

Will there be a Dak Prescott trade?

However, as per reports written last year, NFL analyst Chris Simms had spoken about Prescott turning down the deal as he wanted to sign a four-year contract. However, the team is looking to try the same deal again, though the details of the contract could have been altered to suit preferences.

Instead of the $175 million deal, Prescott went ahead and agreed to a $31.4 million exclusive deal. If the franchise wants the QB to continue playing for them, they might have to offer him more money for the upcoming season.

.@dak coming off a leg injury & NOT a lot of postseason winning....I get the impression talking to Stephen Jones they will not go above $35 million (per) or 5 years!!

Sileo also reported on the basis of Prescott’s injury, adding that with his surgery and less postseason winning, the team might not offer him over a $35 million per year, five-year contract.

He even retweeted a tweet about where other QB’s are, agreeing that Prescott should get a bigger contract.
