Cowboys rework Dak Prescott’s contract to reduce massive cap hit slightly, AP source says

FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys are slightly reducing quarterback Dak Prescott’s massive salary cap hit by reworking his contract going into the final year of the deal, a person with knowledge of the move said Monday. The reworking of the contract included adding two more voidable years in 2027 and 2028, which pushed Prescott’s salary cap number in 2025 up slightly to $40 million. The Cowboys have been quiet in free agency in part because of looming paydays for All-Pro receiver CeeDee Lamb and star pass rusher Micah Parsons, the 2021 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. The Cowboys lost Prescott’s playoff debut to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, and they haven’t advanced past the divisional round in four other tries since then.
