CONFIRMED: Dallas Cowboys Release QB Dak Prescott To NFC North Rival, Sign No.1 Kansas City Star Patrick Mahomes For $53.5 Million In 3-Year Deal
In a shocking turn of events, the Dallas Cowboys have officially parted ways with longtime quarterback Dak Prescott, releasing him to an NFC North rival. At the same time, the Cowboys have pulled off a massive signing by securing Patrick Mahomes from the Kansas City Chiefs on a three-year, $53.5 million deal.
Dak Prescott Moves On—But Where?
After spending nine seasons in Dallas, Dak Prescott has been released, ending an era for the Cowboys. While official details on his next destination are still unfolding, sources indicate that an NFC North team—potentially the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, or Minnesota Vikings—is set to pick him up.
Prescott, who had an impressive 2024 season with 4,516 passing yards and 36 touchdowns, leaves Dallas as one of the franchise’s most accomplished quarterbacks. However, after several playoff disappointments and contract negotiations stalling, the Cowboys decided to move in a new direction.
Cowboys Land Patrick Mahomes in Stunning Deal
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the league, the Cowboys have secured Patrick Mahomes on a three-year, $53.5 million contract. The reigning Super Bowl-winning quarterback and three-time MVP now takes over as the new leader in Dallas, marking a massive shift in the team’s offensive strategy.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in a statement. “Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in football, and we believe he can bring a championship to Dallas.”
What This Means for the NFL
This blockbuster move not only reshapes the Cowboys but also leaves the Kansas City Chiefs in a difficult position, as they must now search for Mahomes’ replacement. Meanwhile, with Prescott likely heading to an NFC North contender, teams like the Bears and Vikings could instantly elevate their playoff chances.
With Mahomes under center, the Cowboys now emerge as instant Super Bowl favorites. However, the big question remains—can Mahomes thrive in Dallas and bring the Lombardi Trophy home?
