    In shocking news of the world, Jerry Jones makes a U-turn from his long-standing player-friendly policy.

    Prescott will play on the 2020 quarterbacks franchise tag of $31.4 million. He will be an unrestricted free agent again in 2021, where the franchise tag would be roughly $38.5 million. However, a more likely option is now that the Cowboys opt to tag-and-trade Prescott next spring, or even outright let him walk (though they could possibly get much higher draft compensation from a tag-and-trade).

    After Trevor Lawrence, Prescott will most likely be the 2nd best quarterback available in 2021. Next year isn't a particularly great or deep QB draft class. We have to assume Deshaun Watson will be retained in Houston, considering how much money they spent on Laremy Tunsil.

    The verdict is that the Cowboys don't believe Prescott is their long-term quarterback of the future, and (justifiably) believe that Prescott is the type of average, bus-driver QB who needs a stacked team around him to contend to win it all. Such QBs as Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer have won Super Bowls, but they aren't the majority, and they played on stacked rosters at the time of. Barring a tremendous winning season from the Cowboys (particularly a Super Bowl appearance or victory), Prescott will not likely be a Cowboy beyond 2020, and Mike McCarthy will be able to draft, sign, or trade for his quarterback of the future.

    Dak is going to be under a tremendous amount of stress and pressure this season the whole NFL will be looking at every throw he makes he will be under a huge glaring light. You add that pressure and compound it with his brother passing away a few months ago is going to make it that much harder.

    Add to the fact he has 3 star receivers, a star running back and 3 elite offensive linemen tbh

    Jerruh doing non-stupid things. Got rid of Garrett. Not overpaying a mediocre QB who can't win.

    Holy . It's like he wants to be good at what his job duties are.

    Finally, someone without a brainless take like "well what better options at QB do we have if we lost Dak?!".

    Look at the 2017 Eagles/Vikings, the 49ers this past year; SB teams like the 00 and 12 Ravens, 03 Bucs etc... You don't always need a great/overpaid QB to win if you have a great team around an average guy who is getting paid his worth and nothing more.
