Dak Prescott is a solid quarterback, no one is denying that. But the highest paid player NFL history? Get real. He’s consistently played terribly in the playoffs, choking away nearly every opportunity the team has had to be serious Super Bowl contenders.

Now that Prescott is locked up for four more years, who is Dallas going to be able to surround him with? Ceedee Lamb can’t do everything. Their defense is going to suffer as well, especially with Micah Parsons‘ contract extension on the horizon.

As long as Dak and Mike McCarthy are still in Dallas, they Cowboys aren’t going anywhere. So thank you, Jerry Jones — we appreciate you here in Philly.
