Dak Prescott has one year remaining on the four-year, $160 million extension he signed with Dallas in the 2021 offseason, while the 25-year-old CeeDee Lamb is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie deal.

Some fans have started to wonder if Jones would be open to trading Prescott and Lamb. Of course, his preference is to keep both of them, but what if the Cowboys owner received an offer for his star quarterback that he can’t refuse?

The scenario seems crazy at first, but it’s not. What if Jones traded Prescott, punted on 2024 and set himself up to tank and draft a new franchise quarterback in Georgia’s Carson Beck, Texas’ Quinn Ewers or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders next year?

One team that makes perfect sense for Dak Prescott is the Pittsburgh Steelers, who haven’t had an above-average quarterback play since Ben Roethlisberger’s last healthy season way-back-when in 2018.

Pittsburgh’s new QB duo of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields have struggled considerably in preseason, where the competition is supposed to be easier. If these two can’t cut it in the regular season, the Steelers can kiss their hopes of a seventh Lombardi Trophy goodbye.

But imagine if the Steelers went all-in for a top-10 quarterback like Dak Prescott. He’d be loaded with playmakers in George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth, Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren, to go along with a future Hall of Fame head coach in Mike Tomlin and a top-10 defense.

What Steelers Should Offer Cowboys For Dak Prescott

If Prescott came to Pittsburgh and signed an extension, their Super Bowl window would be wide open for years to come. And they would easily emerge as a legitimate threat to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC.

Considering that, the Steelers should offer a package of 2025 and 2026 first-round picks, a 2025 second-rounder, a 2026 fourth-rounder and Justin Fields. That’s a fair price for a 31-year-old signal-caller, and the Cowboys would set themselves up perfectly to tank and land a marquee QB prospect in the 2025 draft.
