The Dallas Cowboys already did what they had to do when they signed QB Dak Prescott to a four-year, $160 million contract after the Mississippi State product played the 2020 season under the franchise tag.
Former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson reacted to the contract news this week.
“I think it’s going to be critical for them to draft well if they’re going to compete. I think they can win the NFC East because really the only quarterback who is proven, and he’s not exactly proven, would be [Daniel] Jones with the Giants. Philadelphia is a mess. Washington, who knows right now. Dallas can win the NFC East, but I don’t know if they can go further than that,” he said.
Bleacher Report NFL analyst Brad Gagnon send out eight bold predictions for a few teams, and he wrote that a blockbuster trade is coming soon as a result of the contract extension.
Gagnon predicts the Cowboys will trade star wide receiver Amari Cooper.
“They likely realize they need to spread the wealth, and a Cooper trade would give them a tremendous opportunity to do exactly that.
Cooper, Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb all scored five touchdowns while going over 800 yards and averaging at least 8.0 yards per target in 2020, but Gallup and Lamb are a hell of a lot cheaper. Other teams will value Cooper far more than Dallas needs to because of the presence of Gallup and Lamb, and the Cowboys can create $14 million in cap space by trading the soon-to-be 27-year-old.”
Amari has been sensational since being traded to the Cowboys. Last season, he caught 92 passes for 1,114 yards and five touchdowns

Amari Cooper has 171 catches for 2338 yards and has scored 15 touchdowns in 30 games with Dak Prescott in his career. That have become one of the deadliest duos in the league.
