In recent years, the quarterback has come up as the most lucrative position for an NFL player. It was just last week, when Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints agreed to a four-year, $150 million deal. Similarly, Daniel Jones and the New York Giants agreed to a four-year, $160 million deal. There is no doubt that being at the center has its own perks, and a Cowboys star can not agree more on this as he caught the eyes of fans with his cryptic message, hinting towards a role change.
Both of these contracts have over $90 million in guarantees and looks like the Dallas Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons got the memo as well. In what appeared to be a tongue-in-cheek kind of response, Parsons expressed his desire to switch from linebacker to quarterback. The fans however ended up reading the situation wrong and took it as their chance to throw shade at Parsons’s teammate Dak Prescott.

While another NFL fan went on to completely ignore Dak Prescott’s involvement with the Cowboys, “Finally. We’ll have a QB. Haven’t seen one since Troy Aikman played.”

Multiple shots were fired at Dak Prescott and that too without the man being at fault here. One cryptic tweet from Micah Parsons was enough to unleash the fury of these aggravated Cowboys fans, and it certainly wasn’t pretty.
Jones trusts Dak
Despite not having the fans on his side, Prescott enjoys the full confidence of his owner and general manager Jerry Jones. Earlier, during an interaction, Jones went on to share his views on Prescott, “I think just as Brady became, in my mind, better and better and more impactful on how they won as he got into his career, I think Dak really has those qualities, I think he can get better.”

Jones also revealed that Prescott has the complete trust of the locker room and the guys seem to be following him. He also went on to applaud Dak’s leadership style before deeming him every coach’s dream.
