Dak and the Quarterbacks: Cowboys' post-free agency, pre-draft review

Though it hasn't come to a screeching halt, the talent acquisition phase of the offseason has hit a lull in between free agency and the draft. The Dallas Cowboys weren't expected to do much at the quarterback position this offseason, but they did do a relatively significant amount of shuffling this offseason, and there is a reason it's actually noteworthy heading into the draft. For the third consecutive offseason, the team made moves at the position.

In 2024, the club signed franchise starter Dak Prescott to the most lucrative deal in NFL history. Last season, they made a trade to try and find a long-term backup QB and this year they made a move that speaks to their confidence in last year's transaction. Here's a look the quarterback room as they head towards the 2026 draft.

Starter: Dak Prescott Prescott is set to enter his 11th year in the league in 2026. The 2016 rookie of the year has earned four Pro Bowl bids, and finished Top 3 in Comeback Player of the Year honors twice. More on that in a second.

Prescott had a phenomenal year in 2025, passing for over 4,500 yards, with 30 TDs against just 10 interceptions. Thanks to a porous defense which couldn't force turnovers or get off the field, he wasn't in the MVP race, but he certainly was one of the NFL's top QBs last season. Fans should've expected it.
