How will Jared Goff's monstrous extension affect his rivals like Dak Prescott and Brock Purdy?

1) Dak Prescott

NFC Wild Card Playoffs - Green Bay Packers v Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys appear poised to treat the 2024-25 season as a throwaway.

Nowhere is this apparent than in free agency, where they lost key contributors while not signing anyone of note until they decided to bring back Ezekiel Elliott at the end of last month.

But even more damning, star quarterback Dak Prescott will be a free agent in 2024, and he still has no extension on the table.

It seems plausible that the Cowboys will ditch him in 2025, whether it be for Cooper Rush, Trey Lance or whichever big-name free agent comes up by then. But for now, fans can only speculate.
