For one, the Cowboys should decide whether they want to compete now or in the future.<\/p>\n<p>If the plan is to compete in 2025 and beyond, keeping him on the roster or trading for a competent quarterback should be the plan.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_2\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If the Cowboys want to soft reset, the better idea might be to trade Prescott for draft capital and go from there.<\/p>\n<p>One could also argue that if the Cowboys were to go that route and trade Prescott, they should be looking for a rookie who could come in and compete for the job in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Others, however, have suggested a few interesting proposals, which might not help Dallas too much.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_3\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kyler Murray Swap<\/h2>\n<p>One of those proposals was from Marissa Myers of TWSN.<\/p>\n<p>She proposed a trade that would send\u00a0Kyler Murray\u00a0to the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>If the Cowboys were to go that route, there wouldn\u2019t be much sense behind it. Murray has already signed a massive, long-term, $230.5 million deal through the 2027 season. He has a club option in 2028 worth $34 million.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_4_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-4 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_4\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cDak Prescott is going to be working his way back from injury, and Cooper Rush signed with the Baltimore Ravens. Factor in that Trey Lance hasn\u2019t re-signed either, and quarterback depth is a glaring issue right now in Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYet another season has gone by in which the Cowboys have failed to make the Super Bowl. With a new head coach though, change is coming. It already started with the hire of Brian Schotenheimer as the new head coach. While Schottenheimer was the offensive coordinator for Dallas last season and worked with Prescott, that doesn\u2019t mean he has a future vision for him being the starter,\u201d\u00a0Myers wrote.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_5_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-5 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_5\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>At this stage of both players\u2019 careers, the Cowboys quarterback is the better player. Prescott isn\u2019t perfect, but not many quarterbacks in the NFL are. He\u2019s proven to be a competent option, and that\u2019s better than nearly all other teams in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>However, if they want to find a potential replacement, a younger and cheaper option should be the plan. Murray would be a bit younger, but only by a few years. He also isn\u2019t much cheaper given his contract.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_6_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-6 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_6\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-content entry-content\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"l-article__author-bio\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Dak Prescott walking off There were shocking reports out of Cleveland on Wednesday when Bruce Drennan suggested that the\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0were looking to trade for\u00a0Dak Prescott\u00a0of the\u00a0Dallas&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37025,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
