Mississippi State fans will always have fond memories of Dak Prescott, the former Bulldog quarterback that helped put Mississippi State at No. 1 in the first-ever College Football Playoff rankings in 2014.<\/p>\n

Dallas Cowboys fans may not end up having as such fond memories. At least if\u00a0Bleacher Reports’\u00a0Brad Gagnon’s prediction\u00a0comes true.<\/p>\n

Gagnon listed Prescott’s four-year, $240 million signed in 2024 as one of eight NFL contracts teams will eventually regret. Other players include Pittsburgh’s TJ Watt, San Francisco’s Brock Purdy, Cincinatti receiver Tee Higgins and Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Gagnon said specifically about Prescott’s contract extension:<\/p>\n

“An ongoing dispute threatened to linger into the final year of Prescott\u2019s last deal, and the team probably figured it\u2019d be best to keep rolling long-term with a guy who was the MVP runner-up in 2023,” he wrote. “Prescott is now 32, and injuries have cost him large portions of three of the last five seasons. Despite plenty of support, he\u2019s been a part of just two playoff wins in his nine-year NFL career. And yet in 2026 and 2027, his combined salary-cap hit exceeds a ridiculous $142 million.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Cowboys may end up regretting Prescott’s extension. One could even argue,\u00a0based on comments from owner Jerry Jones, the Cowboys already do regret it.<\/p>\n

But if Jones realized he isn’t as smart as he thinks he is and\u00a0stops dragging his feet\u00a0with giving his best players contract extensions, there’d be fewer chances to have regrets about contracts.<\/p>\n
