If the Dallas Cowboys want to shake up their core this offseason, they could do so by trading Pro Bowl quarterback Dak Prescott for a package of assets that would allow them to retool on the fly.

Prescott, who turns 31 years of age in July, is entering the final season of a four-year extension he signed during the 2021 offseason.

Per ESPN’s Field Yates, Prescott agreed to restructure his contract for the Cowboys on Sunday in order to clear up $4 million in cap space. Yates made an important note in that the move “does not prevent the team and Prescott from further negotiating a long-term extension.”

But Jerry Jones and company have to decide if they really want to commit long-term to a QB on the wrong side of 30 who has a woeful 2-5 postseason record. If the Cowboys really want to do something bold, they should trade Prescott for a bundle of picks and rebuild their roster around a younger QB.

“We’re sitting here paying Baker Mayfield, & Kirk Cousins, and all of these other dudes and we’re talking about not paying Dak Prescott? That's crazy to me!” — @89JonesNTAF
