Cowboys could be 'sleeper team' to draft quarterback amid Dak Prescott uncertainty, NFL insider says
Dak Prescott’s future with the Dallas Cowboys appeared to be up in the air as he enters the final year of his contract with the team.

The Cowboys will likely have to make a decision on wide receiver CeeDee Lamb as he’s set to be a free agent after the 2024 season if an extension isn’t agreed upon. This time next season, Dallas will also have to address Micah Parsons’ contract.
