Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Days after losing to the 49ers in the playoffs, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott and longtime girlfriend Natalie Buffett break up after being together for 2 years.
Taking to social media, popular American tabloid, D.L, revealed the Gist to its followers, especially to those on Twitter.
Before the 2021 season, Dallas offered Prescott a four-year contract extension for 160 million dollars (with 126m dollars guaranteed), for an average return of 40m dollars per season, making him one of the highest-paid players in the NFL.
Only three quarterbacks earn more than #4: Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, who is the highest paid in the entire league at 50m dollars per year; Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, averaging 45m dollars per season; and Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills at 43m dollars.
The option left for Dallas is to trade him to a team that is interested in Prescott’s services, but not many franchises can afford to take on such a big contract for a QB who has yet to make the leap in quality. Also, although Dak is not that old (he will be 30 in July) he is injury prone and that is not a gamble teams like to take in the NFL.
It’s not only the loss to Jacksonville on Sunday, but the overall package of Prescott. He’s like a streaky shooter in the NBA. When the former fourth-round pick is on, it looks great, and he fools you into thinking he’s a top-10 QB. But it can look downright pitiful when he doesn’t have it going. Since Week 10, Prescott has been like a rollercoaster the way he’s played. In that six-game span, he’s thrown at least one interception in five games. And he’s thrown two picks in four of the six.
Maybe it’s the thumb injury still lingering, or it could be terrible decision-making. Either way, this is what has come to be expected of Dak and the Cowboys. They’ll build your hopes up, and at the worst possible moment, they’ll crumble, and it all comes falling down. That’s exactly what’s happening, but no one wants to admit it because this is “America’s Team.”
One of the best recent examples of this in a big game situation happened less than a year ago during the NFC Wildcard game in Dallas against San Francisco. With 14 seconds left in regulation, down by six points with no timeouts, Prescott ran a QB draw up the middle of the field. If you’re down by three or fewer, this might be a good decision, but with no timeouts, it’s still a considerable risk. Of course, the time ran out before they could get to the line to spike the ball.
Prescott completed just 23 of 37 passes for 206 yards, one touchdown and two costly interceptions in the first half that cost Dallas six points. Prescott finished with a poor QB rating of 51.5 and again failed his team at the most important moment.
This means the Super Bowl dream is dead again for the Cowboys and their fans, as it has been for the last 27 seasons.
The quarterback had yet another disappointing game and many are starting to wonder whether the Cowboys should be looking to move on from Prescott.
