Dallas, TX — In what could become the biggest story of the NFL offseason, sources inside The Star are revealing growing tensions in the Dallas Cowboys’ locker room — and at the center of the storm is none other than franchise quarterback Dak Prescott.
According to team insiders, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones is “seriously evaluating” the team’s quarterback situation heading into 2025, with discussions underway about a potential shakeup at the position that could see Prescott benched — or even moved — before Week 1.
“This isn’t just smoke — this is real,” said one source close to the organization. “There’s frustration about postseason failures, leadership dynamics, and whether this team has hit its ceiling under Dak.”
The Cowboys, despite finishing with a strong 2024 regular season, once again faltered in the playoffs, falling short of expectations and extending their Super Bowl drought to 30 years. The loss sparked widespread criticism of Prescott’s performance in big games — and according to reports, even some voices within the locker room have begun questioning the team’s direction.
Complicating matters is Prescott’s contract. He’s due a significant salary this season, and with no extension in place, the Cowboys face a high-stakes decision: re-commit to their longtime starter or pivot now while his trade value still holds weight.
Rumors are already swirling around potential replacements. Names like Trey Lance (already on the roster), a surprise first-round draft pick, or even a veteran free agent have surfaced as possible options if the Cowboys choose to move on.
Jerry Jones, never one to shy away from the spotlight, added fuel to the fire during a recent radio appearance:
> “We love Dak. But we’re going to do what gives us the best chance to win it all. Everything’s on the table.”
Prescott has remained publicly quiet amid the swirling drama, but sources say he’s “well aware” of the talk and is “watching closely” as the situation unfolds.
For fans, this news is a gut punch — and a potential fresh start. Social media is on fire, with #DakDebate and #JerryDrama trending across platforms. Some are calling for loyalty. Others say it’s time to turn the page.
One thing is clear: America’s Team is at a crossroads, and whatever decision comes next could define the franchise for the next decade.
