It has been a drama soap opera for both sides, trying to find out the right deal that would work. However, it didn&#8217;t end the way most fans were hoping, and many believe the Cowboys could be tanking, and if that&#8217;s the case, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/07\/25\/dak-prescott-on-jerry-jones-delay-micah-parsons-extension\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">signal-caller Dak Prescott<\/a> could be on his way out if he doesn&#8217;t do it himself.<\/p>\n<p>One source predicts a dark future for Prescott, as they expect the team may take a quarterback in a future draft with one of the newly acquired first-round picks. Arch Manning has been in several rumors connected to Dallas, where he could become the future of this offense that could lead them in a possible rebuild. After firing the former head coach, Mike McCarthy, earlier this offseason, and now trading arguably your best defensive player, could the Cowboys be tanking on purpose? This is likely the biggest storyline for Dallas in the 2025 campaign, and unfortunately, Prescott might get caught in the crossfire.<\/p>\n<p>He just signed a new long-term extension not too many years ago, but you know, anything can happen in this league. This won&#8217;t stop him from requesting a trade if he feels like the Cowboys aren&#8217;t willing to win anytime soon.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_243959\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-243959\" style=\"width: 818px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-243959\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/USATSI_24665943_168402708_lowres-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Dak Prescott, quarterback, Dallas Cowboys\" width=\"818\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/USATSI_24665943_168402708_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/USATSI_24665943_168402708_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/USATSI_24665943_168402708_lowres-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/USATSI_24665943_168402708_lowres-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/USATSI_24665943_168402708_lowres-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/USATSI_24665943_168402708_lowres-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/USATSI_24665943_168402708_lowres.jpg 1975w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-243959\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nov 3, 2024; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (4) scrambles against the Atlanta Falcons in the first quarter at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

However, the Rams are buying into what Stafford has left in the tank, but this might all change soon within the next two years. After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therams.com\/news\/2025-nfl-draft-trade-falcons-no-26-pick\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trading out of the first round of this year&#8217;s draft<\/a>, it tells you that Sean McVay wants to garner as much draft capital to possibly build a new team. Typically, this means an aging Stafford might not be a fit anymore in this offense, especially since they&#8217;ve been able to win a Super Bowl during the Aaron Donald era.<\/p>\n<p>As for Jerry Jones, he has been very unpredictable, and after trading Parsons to their bitter rival, he could do the same with the Rams here. Prescott isn&#8217;t getting any younger either, but he has at least five-six years at best to try to win a Lombardi trophy, whether it&#8217;s with Dallas or not.<\/p>\n<h4>New Orleans Saints<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/02\/19\/spencer-rattler-dynasty-outlook\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Quarterback Spencer Rattler<\/a> has been looking impressive in this year&#8217;s preseason and training camp after beating out Tyler Shough for the starting job. While it looks fresh and new for the Saints, finally, after trading for wide receiver DeVaughn Vele and claiming untapped Trey Palmer off waivers, the team might be willing to rebuild. However, no one should put it past Kellen Moore to bring Prescott to New Orleans if the Cowboys are trying to trade him.<\/p>\n<h4>Carolina Panthers<\/h4>\n<p>It looks like sunshine and rainbows for the Carolina Panthers and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/08\/18\/bryce-young-fantasy-outlook-breakout-coming\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Bryce Young<\/a>. However, this wouldn&#8217;t stop head coach Dave Canales from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zIzTKvMA7-M&amp;t=117\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">benching him again<\/a> if he doesn&#8217;t live up to the moment, even when having one of the most promising receivers out of their group, like Tetairoa McMillan. If he doesn&#8217;t exceed expectations, they could get aggressive and ask teams if their quarterback is available for a trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Dallas Cowboys star athlete could request a trade out of the organization after the Micah Parsons news. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4795,"featured_media":244357,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,30,19,34,28],"tags":[9487,7739,302,7422,7473,404,6993,7752,7661,7659,8553],"class_list":["post-244355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-panthers","category-cowboys","category-rams","category-saints","tag-bryce-young","tag-carolina-panthers-news","tag-dak-prescott","tag-dallas-cowboys-news","tag-los-angeles-rams-news","tag-matthew-stafford","tag-micah-parsons","tag-new-orleans-saints-news","tag-panthers-featured","tag-saints-featured","tag-spencer-rattler"],"modified_by":"Anthony Palacios","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4795"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244355"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244355\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":244363,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244355\/revisions\/244363"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
