Yes, Prescott and the franchise are currently in a bit of a bind. If a new contract isn’t agreed upon, this could be Prescott’s last season in Dallas, as he’ll hit free agency in 2025, which should worry fans more than it already does.

Regardless of what happens in the future between the Cowboys and Prescott, no one should forget what No. 4 did for this team.
