NFL NEWS ROUNDUP
Deciphering Dak Prescott's Contract Conundrum
As Dak Prescott nears the end of his hefty four-year, $160 million contract, speculation swirls around his future with the Cowboys. Surprisingly, the team has yet to commit to extending his tenure. While rumors abound that Prescott's salary demands may be a sticking point, the Cowboys face a challenging dilemma. Trading Prescott ahead of the 2024 season would incur a staggering $67 million in dead cap, a daunting prospect for any team. Some suggest the possibility of tagging and trading Prescott, but his contract prohibits such a maneuver.
Should the Cowboys opt not to re-sign Prescott, they face a different financial hurdle. With over $40 million in void money looming for the 2025 season, Prescott's impending contract negotiations could set a lofty benchmark. In short, Prescott's impending deal promises to be massive, potentially impacting the team's ability to secure extensions for key players like Parsons and Lamb. Cowboys’ fans better brace for an eventful negotiation period ahead.
NFL Rule Changes Unveiled
In a bid to refine player safety and game dynamics, the NFL has implemented notable rule changes following its annual owners' meeting. Most notably, the controversial hip drop tackle has been outlawed. While dissenters argue against increased referee influence, proponents liken the move to past safety measures like the face mask and horse collar tackle penalties, asserting its necessity for player welfare.
On a brighter note, the NFL introduces a revamped kickoff format, poised to inject excitement into special teams play. Placing both teams' players within a five-yard proximity at the 40 and 35-yard lines, the new format aims to encourage more returns while fostering innovation in return strategies. Drawing inspiration from the XFL, this trial period for the 2024 season promises dynamic play and strategic roster adjustments, as teams adapt to capitalize on the evolving dynamics of special teams.
