About this listen
In the whirlwind of Cowboys camp, Dak Prescott has been right at the center of it all, exuding confidence and stirring up headlines as Dallas eyes a new era under head coach Brian Schottenheimer. After missing the final nine games last season with a hamstring injury, Prescott’s return is front and center, especially since he’s entering year ten as the Cowboys’ franchise quarterback. His attitude has noticeably shifted—Dallas Morning News and others observed Prescott laughing and relaxed at practice, bringing a lighter vibe to the locker room as he prepares to erase last year’s disappointment and build on his new four-year, 240 million dollar contract, which made him the highest-paid quarterback in league history according to multiple sports outlets.
On the field, Prescott shocked the media by saying he wants to play in preseason for the first time in five years, a move that caught fans and teammates off guard. Sports Illustrated and Marca both report Prescott saying “I’m all for playing” but ultimately, it’s not his call, and tradition—and his recent recovery—suggest he'll sit out, focusing on being healthy for the opener. The Cowboys just faced the Chargers, with Prescott present but playing mentor more than taking snaps.
Off the field, Dak made bigger waves by firing a playful yet bold NFC Championship gauntlet at Rams ownership during a pregame sideline exchange, declaring according to Sportskeeda and a viral Instagram clip, “We’ll meet y’all in the NFC Championship,” a moment that caught the attention of fans and NFL media alike, instantly trending across platforms. This kind of brash confidence signals not just health but hunger—a clear thematic shift from a year spent rehabbing.
But not everything is smooth in Cowboys land. The biggest ongoing drama surrounds Micah Parsons’ contract standoff and trade request, which has cast a cloud over training camp. Prescott, who’s been through his own contentious negotiations with Jerry Jones—Bleacher Report recently revealed that Prescott shut down Jones’ attempt to negotiate without his agent—reached out to Parsons privately with a candid, empathetic “F---, man” message, reporting in Fox Sports and Yahoo Sports show, embodying the voice of experience and steady leadership in a tense moment.
Prescott has publicly said he’s confident the team and Parsons can get a deal done according to DallasCowboys.com, but privately his reaction reflects the frustration permeating the Cowboys’ locker room. It’s a rare glimpse into Dak’s role as not just quarterback, but emotional anchor—the rarest of NFL commodities.
Add to all this his candid interviews about fatherhood and life away from football, and social media continues to buzz about his journey, including the ongoing mentorship of new backup Joe Milton III and the light-hearted, sometimes offbeat Cowboys social campaigns attempting, not always successfully, to leverage Prescott’s star power. For Dak, everything right now—money, legacy, locker room drama, and even viral sideline moments—feels bigger. The story of his comeback in 2025, so far, is as much about what he represents to Dallas as it is about his right arm.
