With the NFL offseason comes predictions and bold takes. That specifically happens with trades that could happen before the season or the deadline. With that in mind, Dak Prescott becomes an intriguing trade option, and if he is traded, it will be to the Los Angeles Rams.
With a contract coming up, it seems very likely this could be the last season of Dak Prescott in Dallas. It’s clear that the Cowboys could be on the verge of a rebuild, as the current structure of their team raises questions. If so, by the trade deadline, if Dallas is not competitive, it would be ideal for the team to trade him and get the draft capital required to fully build for the future.
With Prescott, outside of CeeDee Lamb, he is the best player on the team in terms of trade value. With a career 29,459 yards and 202 touchdowns, Prescott is capable of leading a team to success, and with his no trade clause, his talents would have to go to a contending team with a bright future. That team being the Los Angeles Rams.
Yes, the Rams currently have Matthew Stafford, but he is 36 and doesn’t have many years left to play at a peak level. While not in season, this wouldn’t be the first time we saw the Rams make a crazy move for a quarterback of the future, and in this case, it won’t be the last either. With Prescott, he gives the Rams a chance to further prolong their championship window for the future, as Los Angeles is far from a rebuild and need a quarterback with proven experience to further propel their offense. That quarterback happens to be Prescott with his big arm, athletic ability to extend plays, and off-platform throwing ability.
With an offense that features Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, and Kyren Williams, adding Prescott makes sense as a future move to create overall stability. For Dallas, they need to trade Prescott and fully embrace this rebuild to get back to their championship ways.
