NFL Analysts Propose Wild Dak Prescott-to-Dolphins Trade

This offseason has seen a surprising amount of quarterback news. From Jameis Winston getting Lasik eye surgery, to Eli Manning having dinner with the Chicago Bears (and then not having dinner with them after all), the NFL has been pure chaos for the first time in what seems like forever.

One of the quarterback stories that still has plenty of life to it is the uncertain future of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. With his rookie deal set to expire soon, the former Mississippi State man would become an unrestricted free agent, and a wanted commodity. With options abound for the Dallas Cowboys front office, an NFL writer has suggested a trade so radical, it verges on the point of insanity.

Jason La Confora, with John Breech also saying he would move on from Dak Prescott, argues that the Cowboys public hesitation to commit long-term signals the right time to make a change. That change would involve tagging and trading away one of the best quarterbacks in the league to...the Dolphins? The trade would involving picking up the Dolphins giving up their 5th and 18th overall picks in this year's draft to acquire the services of Prescott, and most likely pay him $35-40 million per year.

The Cowboys did this to themselves by locking up Ezekiel Elliott before locking up their quarterback, but walking away from the table altogether and starting over at the position seems farfetched. Perhaps that's what La Confora is going for.

If there is one thing that is universally agreed upon in the NFL, it is that obtaining a franchise quarterback is one of the most difficult goals for an organization to accomplish. That is why it doesn't make a lot of sense for the Cowboys to start over, unless they're completely sold on the likes of Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert or Jordan Love.
