Former Packers vice president Brandt expressed his astonishment that the Cowboys haven’t re-signed Dak Prescott on OutKick’s “Hot Mic” on Monday. This might free up salary room for the team to extend offers to other key players. Brandt led the Packers from 1999 to 2008.
They are powerless to act. Let it go, perhaps get a franchise the following year, or give him a huge salary. Regarding the Cowboys’ alternatives, he stated, “Let him go, where he’ll make the biggest contract ever in free agency, because players like him never get to free agency, or try to do something now.”
The only way they can obtain cap room is through Dak Prescott, which is why they haven’t taken any action despite having Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb waiting for it.
After the Cowboys’ divisional round loss to the Packers, Brandt expressed his belief that the team will “let it ride” with Prescott and expressed surprise that head coach Mike McCarthy has not been fired.
