Former NFL executive sends blunt message to Cowboys

During a recent appearance on OutKick’s “Hot Mic,” former Green Bay Packers executive Andrew Brandt had a pretty blunt message for the Dallas Cowboys, making it clear that he believes the team is in a tough spot due to the contract situation regarding quarterback Dak Prescott.

Prescott is currently entering the final year of his contract with the team and is set to become a free agent at the end of the season unless they manage to sign him to a new contract before then.

It’s a pretty brutal situation, and Brandt gave his harsh assessment.

“They can’t do anything. They can do it, maybe franchise him next year or maybe pay him a lot of money. They can let him go, where he’ll have the biggest contract in free agency history, because guys like that never get there, or they don’t try to do something right now,” Brandt said, according to Fox News. “But the fact that they haven’t done anything and they’ve got Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb waiting for salary cap space to do something, the only way they’re going to get salary cap space is through Dak Prescott.”

Brandt even went so far as to suggest that this could be a “lame duck” year for the Cowboys.

“I’ve said publicly that I think they’re going to let Dak Prescott go. Because, listen, I was at that game. I’m still a Packers fan. The Packers knocked them off the field in the playoffs. Everybody thought Mike McCarthy, who I hired 15 years ago in Green Bay, was going to leave. He’s not. He’s got one year left. Parsons has one year left. Lamb has one year left. Prescott has one year left. They let (Tony) Pollard go. They signed Zeke Elliott, who’s a one-year project.”

“So I look at the Cowboys and I’m like, ‘Wow, this is a slack year, late season, and there’s not going to be a Dak Prescott next year.’ At this point, I’d be surprised if they take him on.”

Needless to say, it seems to predict a difficult year for the team.
