Dak Prescott unveils new look, fuels countless reactions
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott unveiled a brand new look this week following a trip to his barber and it has yielded some hilarious reactions on social media. The 30-year-old QB has a practically fully shaved head so there’s little tweaking to do up top but he did make a big change to his facial hair.
After rocking a full, short beard for most of his NFL career, Prescott is throwing it back to his days at Mississippi State with a goatee.
Prescott was an MVP candidate this past season, throwing for 4,516 yards and 36 touchdowns, with only nine interceptions. He also rushed for 242 yards and two scores. He finished second in the voting for MVP behind winner Lamar Jackson.
Cowboys, Prescott considering contract extension
The Cowboys are reportedly preparing to make Prescott among the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league within the next few weeks. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Jerry Jones’ squad will try to sign the former fourth-rounder to an extension before the free agency period begins in mid-March.
“The Dallas Cowboys have a real deadline for Dak Prescott,” Rapoport shared before Super Bowl LVIII. “This should make him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL. The Cowboys are going to want to go into free agency with maneuverability, they want to be able to sign guys, so they need to lower that cap number. The expectation is that the Cowboys will do a deal before free agency.”

Not only does the team believe in Prescott as the answer at quarterback, they also have little choice. The quarterback’s contract slams them with a nearly $60 million cap hit for 2024 and it includes no-trade and no-franchise tag clauses. His current contract has him as the 10th highest-paid QB in the league. His new deal could pay him upwards of $50 million a season.
Since the Super Bowl, however, team owner Jerry Jones has said the team could potential ride out the rest of the quarterback’s contract if they can’t make a deal.
“We don’t need to [extend Prescott’s deal], but we can if everybody wants to solve it,” Jones told beat reporters Friday, via Nick Harris. “You can get in and get on the same page and see if you can come to an agreement. If you can’t, what we have in place works. And so obviously, if you do it one way, you’ll be working through some of the other areas on the team in a different way, but you can’t really plan on that until you see when you’re there.”
