No, the Cowboys Shouldn't Remotely Consider Trading Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a contract extension looming, and it's likely to be a big one. In fact, according to sources familiar with his demands, it may even exceed the recent monster contract signed by Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz.

Combine Prescott's lofty financial demands with his at-times uninspiring play, and what do you get? Trade rumors. However, I'm here to shut those down and remind you of exactly why the Cowboys would be insane to consider trading Dak Prescott.

The Dallas Cowboys have been lucky at the QB position of late with Tony Romo and now Prescott.

But that doesn't mean they can afford to get arrogant. Ask Browns fans, Jets fans, or Cardinals fans what it's like to spend decades with laughable quarterback play and seemingly no answer in sight. Hint: it's not fun.

Prescott is a smart passer with great mobility, two qualities that are incredibly valuable in today's NFL. He may not have as electric of a skillset as guys like Patrick Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers, but his ability to limit big mistakes is rare. In his three-year career, he's thrown 67 touchdowns to just 25 interceptions, a TD:INT ratio of nearly 3:1 (plus, he's added 17 rushing touchdowns on top of that).

Sure, Prescott has been blessed with a talented supporting cast. But that doesn't discount all that he's proven to be capable of in his short career so far. $30 million is a lot of money, but the alternative is taking the risk of entering quarterback limbo for who knows how long.

And although the Cowboys have hardly experienced it, quarterback limbo is absolutely the worst place for an NFL franchise to be.
