Amid Free Agency Rumors, Dak Prescott Blasted for Brother’s Cowboys Rant as Mike Tannenbaum Picks Contract as the Roadblock

Dak Prescott’s brother, Tad Prescott’s scathing tweets, criticism of management and casting doubt on Jerry Jones’ commitment is creating controversy in the NFL world. The Cowboys’ inability to make­ the most of chances in free­ agency has led to growing disgruntlingment from the­ Prescott side. Dak’s brother Tad, airing his disappointment online, has criticized the­ leadership- espe­cially owner Jerry Jones.

In the midst of this turmoil, former NFL executive Mike Tannenbaum’s statements about Dak are questioning his leadership and its impact on team dynamics. As all eyes turn to Dak, the question looms: How will his next move shape the Cowboys’ future?

Tad Prescott’s social media rant and Mike Tannenbaum’s critique

His brother Tad, voiced his frustration with how the te­am is run and even doubted Jone­s’ previous commitment to go “all in” during free agency. “So, if it wasn’t clear already, it is now. The Eagles have the best front office in the NFL. #Howaboutthemcowboys,” Tad posted on his X account.

Amidst this situation, Mike Tannenbaum took a dig Dak Prescott. He said during an interview, “Lead your family first and the team second and then get in a room with you know the Dallas Cowboys and get a deal done long -term lower your cap number then go improve your team. So to me, we keep talking about like why can’t they win, that’s a good reason why, you don’t see other teams tweeting those things, and trust me there are a lot of problems out there “.

Amidst the turmoil, all eyes are now on Dak Prescott, the face of the franchise, and the key figure in the ongoing contract negotiations with the Cowboys.

Dak Prescott’s contract leverage: a game-changer for the Cowboys’ future

With reports suggesting that Prescott holds considerable leverage in the talks, the quarterback’s next move will undoubtedly shape the team’s trajectory moving forward. Analysts emphasize Prescott’s position of strength and the potential implications of his decisions on the Cowboys’ future. RJ Ochoa has posted on X, “.@SlaterNFL on NFL Network reiterated that Dak Prescott has all of the leverage regarding contract negotiations with the Dallas Cowboys She noted that a deal may not come until training camp and that Dak could opt to play the year out”.

The absence of discussions between Jerry Jones and Dak regarding the team’s offseason plans underscores the immediate need for the Dallas Cowboys to address Prescott’s substantial $59.4 million cap hit for 2024. Before engaging in free agency activities, the Cowboys must resolve Prescott’s contract situation, with the team aiming to secure him to a long-term extension at a favorable rate. However, Prescott’s leverage as he heads into the final year of his current deal complicates negotiations, as he could demand a market-setting contract of $60 million annually. The urgency to address Prescott’s contract is heightened by the looming roster bonus deadline of March 18.
