The Dallas Cowboys enter the 2021 NFL season with sky-high expectations. With several key players returning from injuries, America’s Team is looking to leave its mark in the postseason. The key injury returnee remains quarterback Dak Prescott. The quarterback who was recently tied down by the franchise to a bumper four-year contract missed a good chunk of last season with a gruesome ankle injury. After months of rehab, Prescott finally looked ready to start of preparations for the season before an injury besieged him again. But it’s not something to fear say the Dallas Cowboys [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/dallas-cowboys/] referring to it as a minor shoulder strain. The Cowboys though look to be keeping their options open. If deemed fit, then the quarterback will be the undisputed starter for the team’s opening tie against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/tampa-bay-buccaneers/] on September 9. But if not, then the side will have to decide on a back-up quarterback to Dak Prescott. DALLAS COWBOYS KEEPING THEIR OPTIONS OPEN With Gameweek 1 fast approaching, the Dallas Cowboys are still pondering over who they will enlist as their QB2 as back up to Dak Prescott. In the Cowboys’ Saturday night game against the Houston Texans, Garrett Gilbert compiled 30 yards for one fumble, while Ben DiNucci threw three interceptions.

The quarterback mustered up 97 yards and made 10 completions. With two touchdowns to go along with it, the Rush’s shift was appreciated by Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Mike McCarthy. “He had a nice quarter and a half of work,” said McCarthy via the team’s website [https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/big-week-ahead-for-the-backup-qb-competition]. The coach though said that no final decision has been regarding the matter. “We have one more week, and we’re going to need it,” he added.

While last season they had veteran in Andy Dalton to take over, the Cowboys’ options for QB2 are slim.

<h2>Dallas Cowboys: 2024 Roster, Players, Schedule, Super Bowl Wins and More</h2>
Founded by Clint Murchinson Jr, the Dallas Cowboys first saddled up in 1960 and soon became the Americaâ€™s Team. Well, thatâ€™s the name they are called by! The franchise is a professional American football team based in the Dallas â€“ Fort Worth metroplex. The Cowboys are the most expensive franchise in NFL history, and currently belong to the NFC East division.Â 

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2224233" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1035402245h.jpg" alt="" />

Having over 8.5 million fans online and a â€˜Lone Starâ€™ on their helmet, the team is one of the most popular franchises in the league. The Cowboys play currently at Arlington, Texas, and their practice facility is in Frisco, Texas. This Blue and White squad, which has won 5 Super Bowl Championships (1971, 1977, 1992, 1993, 1995), and 24 division championships, are known for a large, loyal fanbase and a rich history of success.
<h2>A look into the history of the Dallas Cowboys</h2>
The Dallas Cowboys' story began in 1960 with Clint Murchison Jr. founding the team. He brought professional football to Dallas after overcoming many hurdles, including a bitter rivalry with Washington Redskins owner, George Preston Marshall. This rivalry happened because when Murchison Jr. was determined to bring an NFL team to Dallas, he needed a unanimous vote from the leagueâ€™s owners. And Marshall, whom he had a falling out, was the one blocking him. Hence, in a clever move, Murchison paid just $2500 to get Marshallâ€™s support, and that vote secured Dallas its own NFL team. And then after difficult negotiations, Murchison finally brought the Cowboys to life, marking the start of the historic franchise.

However, in terms of performance, despite early struggles, they didn't find real success until 1966 when they began an incredible 20-season winning streak. This streak included 18 playoff appearances and five Super Bowl trips. During the 70s and 80s, they became â€œAmerica's Team,â€ with legends like Roger Staubach and Tony Dorsett leading the charge. Then by 1989, Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys, replacing long-time coach Tom Landry with Jimmy Johnson. Jones quickly rebuilt the team, leading them to multiple Super Bowl wins in the '90s, securing their reputation as a powerhouse. Today, the Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world, worth over $9 billion, selling out stadiums and continuously adding to their legacy. Their current home, AT&amp;T Stadium, has become an iconic venue for one of football's most storied franchises.
<h2>Notable milestones and achievements</h2>
The Dallas Cowboys have been to Super Bowls eight times and have won five (VI, XII, XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX). In addition to that, they also have won 8 NFC championships so far. However, the most notable seasons for the team were in the 1970s and 1990s. During the 1970s period, the Cowboys played in 6 NFC championships, and won 105 regular season games.Â 

[caption id="attachment_1164136" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1164136" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-639829730.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1296" /> ATLANTA, GA - JANUARY 30: Head coach Jimmy Johnson of the Dallas Cowboys celebrates as they defeat the Buffalo Bill in Super Bowl XXVIII on January 30, 1994 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia.

Besides it in the 1990s, quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith, and wide receiver Michael Irvin led the Cowboysâ€™ offense to a different level. This triplet helped the franchise to a 52-12 regular season record and 3 Super Bowl championships in 4 years, winning Super Bowls XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX.Â 
<h2>Major rivalries of the Dallas Cowboys</h2>
Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Commanders: Due to their founder Clint Murchison Jr.â€™s bad blood with Washingtonâ€™s then owner, George Preston Marshall, the rivalry has been established, and is continued till date. They have faced off each other 128 times, with the Dallas Cowboys winning 78 games and the Washington Commanders winning 48 games.

Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles: This is a 63 year-long intra-divisional rivalry with the two teams contained in the same division since 1961. They have met each other 130 times, in which the Eagles have won 56 games, while the Cowboys have 74 games in hand.

Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants: Perhaps their 31-31 tie in their first face off has led to this rivalry, besides the NFC East factor. They have played 124 times with each other. Cowboys have won 75 while Giants have won 47, with two ties till date.

He made his debut against the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/new-york-giants/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New York Giants</a> in Week 1. However, his opening NFL game ended in defeat as Dallas lost by a 20-19 margin. But that did not stop Dak who went on to lead the Cowboys to a 13-3 record and the NFC East title in his rookie year.

They did lose to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/green-bay-packers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Green Bay Packers</a> in the playoffs but Prescott was named to the Pro Bowl and even voted the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year ahead of teammate Ezekiel Elliott, receiving 28 of 50 votes. He made his debut on the NFL Top 100 List at number 14 the following year.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Dak Prescott Record</h2>
Dak Prescott broke the record for most consecutive pass attempts without an interception to start a career, with 176 attempts in Week 6 of the 2016 season. Tom Brady previously held the record. Prescott finished his 2016 rookie regular season with a record 11 games with an over 100 NFL passer rating, breaking the rookie record of nine games set by Russell Wilson in 2012.
He tied the Ben Roethlisberger 2004 rookie record of winning 13 games as a starter. Prescott threw 23 touchdowns and 4 interceptions for a touchdown to interception ratio of 5.75 breaking the previous rookie record of 4.00 (20 touchdowns and 5 interceptions) set by Robert Griffin III, and for a touchdown to interception differential of 19 breaking Russell Wilson's rookie record of 16.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Dak Prescott Net Worth</h2>
The Cowboys number 4 reportedly has a net worth of $2 million as per <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nfl/dak-prescott-net-worth/#:~:text=Dak%20Prescott%20net%20worth%3A%20Dak,Sulphur%2C%20Louisiana%20in%20July%201993." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Celebrity Net Worth</a>. However, we suspect that they haven't taken into account his massive $31.4 million franchise tag which was activated prior to the 2020 NFL season.

In addition to that, it is being reported that Dak earns five-times his on-field salary from his endorsement deals with Adidas, Pepsi and other brands. He earns further revenue from his licensing deals. So his net worth remains shrouded in a bit of a grey cloud.
