FRISCO, Texas-- Once Dak Prescott has authorized yet another mega-contract to be the Dallas Cowboys' starting quarterback, having said that years he has left will certainly be about legacy.He possesses his cash. Just before authorizing one of the most current offer, he moneyed in more than $160 thousand, with a little greater than $4 thousand on his rookie bargain (2016-19), $31.4 thousand on the franchise business tag in 2020, as well as $126 million from 2021 to 2023. And he can get $240 million on his most up-to-date offer, depending on to ESPN's Adam Schefter.But so as for Prescott to relocate coming from a good analytical quarterback to among the most ideal in Cowboys past, he must do one thing he has refrained yet: come to a Super Bowl. Perhaps even win it.It is certainly not totally decent, yet those are the requirements in Dallas specified through Hall of Famers Roger Staubach and also Troy Aikman.Prescott has actually done just about every thing else in his initial 8 years as the starting quarterback. He has set the crew file for goal comes on a period (37 ). By the edge of next season, he needs to exceed Tony Romo (34,183) as the franchise business innovator in passing backyards. He is actually forty five goal passes reluctant of Romo's document (247 ). He has succeeded the NFC East 4 times. He has been actually to the Pro Dish. In 2023, he possessed his ideal season and also was called All-Pro as well as completed second in MVP voting. He was actually called the champion of the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.Best of NFL Nation u2022 Legendary effort to send out Packers, Eagles to South America u2022 Timetable of Goff's outstanding Cougars resurgence u2022 Saints urgent in Year 3 under Dennis Allen u2022 Rams seeking retribution in Detroit u2022 Cowboys, McCarthy observe option in 2024.Yet he has actually certainly not surpassed the second round of the playoffs, and also the odor from the wild-card reduction to the Environment-friendly Bay Packers in January still hangs over the entire organization.To do what he is actually not done but, Prescott can be inquired to do additional with much less-- in part, due to his contract, although the Cowboys managed to sign CeeDee Sheep to a four-year arrangement expansion on Aug. 26. Crews with high-priced quarterbacks-- such as Buffalo grass's Josh Allen, Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes, Cincinnati's Joe Retreat and the Chargers' Justin Herbert-- have had to bring in company decisions at other positions.The Cowboys initially inquired Prescott to accomplish additional along with much less in 2018 without an accurate No. 1 recipient, and when that performed not exercise, they traded for wide receiver Amari Cooper, quiting a first-round selection to the Raiders.Entering his ninth season, Prescott is a various quarterback than he was when entering his 3rd. He recognizes the activity a lot more. He knows his video game a lot more. He comprehends defenses more.In 2024, he'll need to become much better than he has actually been, as the Cowboys relocate to a running-back-by-committee approach as well as the might start pair of rookies on the repulsive line. He needs to become better while experiencing a routine that includes seven activities versus 2023 playoff teams in the 1st 11 weeks.After this period, the Cowboys can look fully different.This might be the last years of franchise business stalwarts secure Zack Martin, a future Lobby of Famer, and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence. If they each depart after this period, Prescott is going to be the longest-tenured Cowboy, considering that fellow 2016 draft pick Ezekiel Elliott took an one-year reprieve coming from Dallas in 2023 for a job with the New England Patriots.This offseason, the Cowboys said goodbye to left address Tyron Smith, a future Lobby of Famer, facility Tyler Biadasz, managing back Tony Pollard and also defensive end Dorance Armstrong, to name a few, as Dallas prepped for take care of Prescott, CeeDee Sheep as well as Micah Parsons. The only noteworthy enhancements were restoring Elliott as well as linebacker Eric Kendricks in free agency, as Jerry Jones' interpretation of 'all-in' seemed to be to become various than what several others thought.But Jones is no doubt all-in on Prescott now, regardless of whether it took some negotiating opportunity to obtain there.If Prescott, entering his nine season, plays out the package, he will be actually the longest-tenured starting quarterback in franchise past. Aikman was the Cowboys' starter for 12 times, Romo started for nine and also Staubach for eight.Since 1980, the only quarterback to wait longer to go to a Super Bowl for the very first time along with the nightclub that prepared him was Ken Anderson, that was in his 10th period as Cincinnati's full-time starter. Matt Ryan and Peyton Manning headed to their very first Super Bowls with Atlanta Georgia as well as Indianapolis, specifically, in their nine seasons as the full time starters.That's the challenge Prescott experiences in specifying his legacy on the area.
