Cowboys face trade obstacle with Dak Prescott amid poor season
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys, struggling at 3-5 this season, are contemplating significant changes, including the potential trade of quarterback Dak Prescott. While discussions have emerged about moving Prescott, who holds franchise records for yardage, completions, and touchdowns, a major hurdle exists: his no-trade clause. At 33 years old, with deep ties to Texas and family considerations, Prescott's willingness to waive the clause remains uncertain. Financial implications also complicate a potential deal, as the Cowboys would incur substantial cap hits. The team may need to work closely with Prescott to identify a suitable trade destination.
