Breaking news: The New England Patriots are on the verge of Landing Dallas Cowboys top quarterback.
Recent rumors suggest that quarterback Dak Prescott may leave the Dallas Cowboys, with speculation growing stronger in recent days. His contract with the Cowboys is set to conclude at the end of the 2024 season, and indications suggest he may seek a new team if the Cowboys do not extend his contract.
The lack of negotiations between Prescott and the NFC East franchise has fueled these rumors, prompting analysis of various scenarios and potential options for Prescott’s future.

According to Fox Sports insider Nick Wright, there is speculation that Dak Prescott could potentially join the New England Patriots, a team that has faced challenges at the quarterback position in recent years. While Mac Jones had a promising rookie season after being drafted in the first round in 2021, his performance declined somewhat afterward. With the Patriots currently holding the third overall pick in the 2024 Draft, they are expected to select one of the top quarterbacks available.
If Prescott is indeed an option, the Patriots might consider trading their third overall pick to a team like the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for lower picks. This strategy would allow them to acquire Prescott as their new quarterback, potentially at a lower cost than using their top pick in the draft.

Nick Wright’s suggestion about the Patriots potentially trading the third overall pick, especially if quarterback Drake Maye is available, has generated significant interest among Patriots fans eager to see their team return to prominence in the NFL. Wright proposed a scenario where the Patriots trade the third pick to the Minnesota Vikings for picks 11 and 23, along with other considerations. This would allow the Patriots to draft a tackle at 11 and one of the highly rated wide receivers at 23, while also planning to sign Dak Prescott as their new quarterback.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys have made a move in free agency by signing quarterback Trey Lance from the San Francisco 49ers, potentially indicating that they are preparing for Prescott’s departure.
