Dak Prescott’s blockbuster, restrictive contract all but blocks Deion and Shedeur Sanders from coming to the Dallas Cowboys together.<\/p>\n

Get excited about\u00a0Deion Sanders\u00a0as the next head coach of the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0all you want. There’s a lot to like.<\/p>\n

He’s larger-than-life “Coach Prime”, after all. He was a two-sport legend, the only man to ever play in a World Series and a\u00a0Super Bowl. He was a starting cornerback on the last Cowboys team to win a Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

\"BREAKING:<\/p>\n

Dak Prescott And Shedeur Sanders<\/em><\/p>\n

By Tony Frisco<\/em><\/p>\n

But fans who want Deion to be hired to replace\u00a0Mike McCarthy\u00a0are getting a little ahead of themselves. Sure, Deion’s son and top college\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Shedeur Sanders\u00a0gave his stamp of approval on Dad going to coach the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

“I think it would be cool,” Shedeur said during his attendance at the\u00a0Dallas Mavericks\u00a0game Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

FanDuel got drunk on the hype this week, sending out a social media message that projected the Cowboys hiring Deion, trading Dak Prescott to the\u00a0Tennessee Titans\u00a0for the No. 1 overall pick in April’s\u00a0NFL Draft\u00a0and then selecting Shedeur.<\/p>\n

Said the Tweet in bold print: “WHO SAYS NO?”<\/p>\n

Um, Dak Prescott. That’s who.<\/p>\n

Hate to throw a bucket of cold reality on the hottest rumor in the\u00a0NFL, but Deion and Shedeur aren’t a package deal. Not in Dallas, anyway. The idea that Deion will become the Cowboys coach and that they will somehow engineer a trade up the draft (from 12th to 1st) to select Shedeur and then the two will lead a revival of winning football in DFW much like they did in Boulder, Colorado is pure fiction.<\/p>\n

As in, even if the Cowboys could finagle Shedeur how would he fit in behind Prescott and – for that matter – behind another quarterback Jerry Jones spent a draft pick to trade for in Trey Lance?<\/p>\n

Part of Prescott’s contract signed before the start of last season includes not only a no-trade clause, but also a $103 million “dead money” hit to the salary cap if he is traded before June 1.<\/p>\n

In other words, Prescott is all but untradeable. What, do the Cowboys trade up for Shedeur to have him sit? Do the Cowboys cut Dak and give the job to Shedeur?<\/p>\n

The Cowboys don’t yet have their coach, but they already have their quarterback.<\/p>\n

Deion to Dallas makes some sense. Deion and Shedeur to Dallas doesn’t.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
