The Jerry Jones-owned Dallas Cowboys did not do a very good job in the playoffs last season. In the public’s eyes, one of the main reasons for the Cowboys’ poor performance was their quarterback, Dak Prescott. In fact, some fans were so disappointed with his performance that he was even booed when he went to collect a humanitarian accolade before the Super Bowl. Furthermore, with the NFL draft incoming, there have been some intriguing developments that might put his job in jeopardy.
Prior to the NFL draft, every team expresses interest in different players on the college football scene. There even might be some unofficial scouting and claiming of players prior to the draft. One such ‘informal’ scouting is being done by the Cowboys. Furthermore, this might put Prescott and his position with the Cowboys in trouble.

All in all, fans had a very negative reaction to the news of the interest of the Cowboys. As of now, the intrigue the Cowboys have displayed has earned them nothing but slander from the fans.
While fans have displayed their disdain for the Cowboys’ recent moves, there hasn’t been an official announcement from the Cowboys regarding C.J. Stroud. It only remains to be seen how fans will react if the Cowboys do end up making an official announcement about their pursuit of the Ohio QB.
