Dak Prescott’s future with the Dallas Cowboys has become uncertain, despite securing a record-breaking four-year, $240 million contract extension in 2024.
While Prescott has enjoyed strong regular seasons, his postseason performances have not lived up to expectations. Former NFL MVP Cam Newton recently weighed in, suggesting that if Prescott fails to lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl victory, he could be replaced by Arch Manning, the highly anticipated quarterback prospect from the University of Texas.
Cowboys legend Michael Irvin smacks a college defender after ranting about young players
The 2024 season began with high hopes for Prescott and the Cowboys. However, a combination of injuries and inconsistent play led to a disappointing campaign.
Prescott suffered a partial hamstring tendon avulsion in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. Prior to his injury, he had thrown for 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions, but the Cowboys posted a 3-5 record.
With backup quarterbacks Cooper Rush and Trey Lance unable to steady the ship, the team ended the season with a 7-10 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
Prescott expressed his frustration after the season, admitting that no one plans to lose or miss the playoffs. His disappointment was clear as he reflected on the team’s struggles and the missed opportunity for a championship run. Now, with the 2025 season on the horizon, Prescott’s performance is under immense scrutiny.
Cam Newton’s bold prediction
Cam Newton has not minced words about Prescott’s situation. While acknowledging that Prescott has had good supporting talent throughout his career, including strong receivers and a solid defense, Newton believes 2025 is make-or-break.
He argued that if Prescott does not perform at a high level this season, the door will be wide open for a potential replacement. “If you do not succeed this year, that door is going to close. And in comes… Arch Manning,” Newton warned.
Arch Manning, the nephew of NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning, is considered one of the top prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft. If Manning excels during his time at Texas, he is expected to be a top pick, making him an attractive target for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
Newton suggested that if the Cowboys are unable to secure a Super Bowl victory with Prescott at the helm, Jones may be willing to trade a massive haul of draft picks and veteran players, including Prescott, to acquire Manning.
The road ahead for Prescott
As the 2025 season approaches, Prescott faces the most critical year of his career. Despite the pressure, he remains determined to lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl victory. With new head coach Brian Schottenheimer and promising additions like wide receiver George Pickens, Prescott has the tools to succeed.
However, if he falls short again, the Cowboys could look to the future and turn to Manning, who represents the franchise’s hope for a new era. For Prescott, the upcoming season is not just about proving his worth-it’s about securing his legacy with the Cowboys and potentially ensuring his place as their long-term leader.

A hollow vote of confidence caps Bill Belichick’s most absurd week yet at UNC (and it’s only Wednesday)
North Carolina touted Bill Belichick's hire as proof it was finally serious about football. But about 11 months in -- with a string of fiascos on and off the field -- it looks more like a basketball school playing dress-up as a football power, and doing a poor job of it. Carolina athletics released terse statements from Belichick and athletic director Bubba Cunningham Wednesday night following a long day of closed-door meetings in Chapel Hill as Belichick's tenure reached its nadir. "I'm fully committed to UNC football and the program we're building here," Belichick said. "Coach Belichick has the full support of the department of athletics and the university," Cunningham added. This will do nothing to quell the schadenfreude the industry has towards the sideshow in Chapel Hill, and make no mistake, the college football world is watching and laughing; whether it's opposing coaches, their […]

Amorim vs Arteta: How do their records in first 50 games compare?
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has cited Mikel Arteta's "miserable" start as Arsenal boss as a reason to have patience with Manchester United's under-fire head coach Ruben Amorim. But how do their first 50 games in charge really compare?"Ruben needs to demonstrate he is a great coach over three years," the Manchester United minority owner told The Business podcast. "Football is not overnight. It's three years. You also look at Arteta. He had a miserable time over the first couple of years."
