À propos de cet audio
The past week for Dak Prescott has been a swirling mix of bold headlines, contract whispers, preseason drama, and the ever-present social media microscope. At the top of the news cycle is Prescott’s now-viral prediction—caught on camera by WFAA and highlighted by Fox Sports—where he told Rams owner Stan Kroenke that the Cowboys and Rams would meet in the NFC Championship this season. That proclamation instantly grabbed national attention, especially because the Cowboys haven’t been to the NFC title game since 1996. Social media lit up with fans and pundits openly mocking Prescott’s confidence, with SportBible reporting NFL followers joking about Madden simulations being the only way Dallas reaches the championship.
Alongside the bravado, ESPN laid bare the ongoing tension in Cowboys contract negotiations, noting that while Dak secured his four-year, $160 million contract—making headlines last year as the NFL’s highest-salaried player for a brief moment—his deal has been a symbol of Dallas’s organizational indecision. While the Cowboys have repeatedly restructured his contract, critics like Stephen A. Smith amplified on ESPN and Times of India have labeled Prescott “overpaid” and questioned his postseason credentials, especially as Dallas faces renewed pressure after a 7-10 campaign.
For Dak, last year’s injury-plagued season has sharpened both fan anxiety and team urgency. His partially torn hamstring sidelined him after Week 9, one of the reasons cited for Dallas’s playoff miss. Now healthy, Prescott has looked sharp in training camp. Blogging the Boys observed he appeared “regular-season ready,” and Sports Illustrated showcased him as among the top three quarterbacks in the entire league against the blitz since 2022, trailing only Josh Allen and Joe Burrow. This elite metric is all the more significant with Dallas’s offseason addition of George Pickens as a new deep threat, signaling a Cowboys offense poised to take more risks.
But preseason results have been shaky with new head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Marca described the unease as Prescott watched from the sideline while backup Joe Milton struggled visibly, sparking public concerns about Dallas’s depth if Dak were to face another injury setback. Meanwhile, the Cowboys used their usual star power hosting a Netflix documentary premiere, with Dak in attendance and the spotlight inevitably turning toward whether this season can silence years of doubters.
On Instagram, the ever-watchful fanbase shared clips of Dak Prescott in a half-sleeve at warm-ups and tagged photos from last night’s drills, fueling speculation about his conditioning but overall showing an engaged, upbeat presence. Off the field and online, Prescott remains core to the Cowboys’ identity—he is both the team’s lightning rod and their best hope of snapping a nearly three-decade title drought. Headlines may mock his ambition, but as the season nears, Dak Prescott is, once again, the face of Dallas’s sky-high expectations and Super Bowl dreams.
