Fast forward to February, and the Cowboys are left cleaning up the mess of 2024 that saw them finish a miserable 7-10, leading to the departure of head coach Mike McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>Prescott missed the Cowboys\u2019 last nine games after requiring season-ending surgery on a hamstring injury. But he looked nothing like the three-time Pro Bowler before the injury, completing just 64.7 percent of pass attempts for 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Soppe of Pro Football &amp; Sports Network\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballnetwork.com\/cowboys-predicted-to-cut-ties-with-dak-prescott-after-2025-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">predicts<\/a>\u00a0that the Cowboys will move on from Dak Prescott after the 2025 season and replace him with none other than highly-touted Texas QB\u00a0<a class=\"mai-link-injected\" href=\"https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/tag\/arch-manning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arch Manning<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cDallas will struggle to reach six wins under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Following a 7-10 record in 2024, the team faces several challenges, including limited salary cap space and a reluctance to sign free agents. These issues will likely leave the Cowboys with a high draft pick in 2026, setting the stage for them to target Arch Manning.<\/p>\n<p>The season could get off to a rocky start, much like in 2024, with a significant holdout from star linebacker Micah Parsons as he negotiates a long-term extension. Parsons could miss most of training camp, similar to CeeDee Lamb, and may not have enough time to familiarize himself with new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus\u2019 system.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stephenasmith?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@stephenasmith<\/a> on Dak Prescott&#8217;s comments about the Dallas Cowboys being &#8220;very close&#8221; to winning a Super Bowl \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Clearly delusional.

If things continue to get worse in Dallas, this could lead to a similar situation involving Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions four years ago, when the two sides agreed that a split was necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Stafford went to the Los Angeles Rams and won a Super Bowl. The Lions got a younger QB to build around in Jared Goff, and the franchise has since emerged as a juggernaut.
