Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys discovered who they will open the 2024 season in opposition to on Monday, hoping to embark on a Tremendous Bowl quest once they tackle the Cleveland Browns in Week 1.
That matchup might additionally function the beginning of the quarterback’s final dance in Dallas. Prescott is coming into the ultimate season of his four-year deal and seems to be headed for unrestricted free company barring an extension settlement that at present seems to be on maintain.
Might Invoice Belichick and Dak Prescott go to the Giants?

Because the Cowboys and Prescott have not agreed to a brand new deal but, “First Issues First” host Nick Wright continued his perception that the quarterback might find yourself with a division rival — and that he’ll be a part of a storied head coach within the course of.
“I believe it’s on the board that Dak Prescott and Invoice Belichick are a package deal deal subsequent season to the New York Giants,” Wright stated on Tuesday’s “The Herd.” “Invoice will get to return again from the Giants, they get to steal away the Cowboys’ quarterback and reply that drawback.
“All over the place Invoice might go, it is like, ‘Properly, the job’s open, most likely as a result of they do not have a quarterback.’ Invoice’s already gone by means of that. I believe Invoice and Dak might go and you can remake a whole group. … I believe the New York Giants are a really viable possibility.”
Wright first opined that the Giants could possibly be a touchdown spot for each the Cowboys quarterback and former New England Patriots within the leadup to the 2024 NFL Draft in April, believing that it could be unlikely they would choose a quarterback with the sixth general choose then.
“If you’re the Mara household, you will have the sixth choose within the draft,” Wright stated two days previous to the draft. “However lots of people have a workforce buying and selling up in entrance of you, and you do not draft a quarterback. … You might have one other yr with Daniel Jones, which suggests you will have one other disappointing season. And you’ve got the chance within the offseason to say ‘Hey, we’re gonna herald Dak Prescott to be our quarterback, and Invoice Belichick to be our head coach.'”
Regardless of some hypothesis that they might draft a quarterback, head coach Brian Daboll and basic supervisor Joe Schoen opted to pick LSU large receiver Malik Nabers as an alternative. The transfer might wind up costing Daboll and Schoen their job if the Giants end towards the underside of the standings once more.
If that’s the case, Wright claimed that including Belichick and Prescott would immediately restore the Giants to what they’ve been many occasions up to now — one of many “status franchises” in all the NFL.
“By the best way, the Giants aren’t the one workforce that might try this, however with Invoice Belichick floating on the market, and Dak Prescott the very best quarterback in ceaselessly to [potentially] hit true free company,” Wright stated, “[There is] the power for any franchise, to with the stroke of a examine, remake all the model of their workforce. Best coach ever, among the finest quarterbacks to ever go away through free company [in his prime].”
In fact, there may be a while and different obstacles that might forestall the Giants from making that right into a actuality. Cowboys proprietor Jerry Jones has acknowledged his confidence that Prescott will keep in Dallas for a few years to return.
Hiring Belichick could be a bit simpler for the Giants, although. He has not discovered a brand new residence after parting from the Patriots in January, ending a 24-year run that introduced New England all six of his Tremendous Bowls. He interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons for his or her head teaching emptiness shortly after leaving New England, however that place was crammed by former Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.
The eight-time Tremendous Bowl champion nonetheless desires to educate and is reportedly enthusiastic about potential openings subsequent season in Dallas, Philadelphia, and, sure, the New York Giants. All three present coaches — Mike McCarthy, Nick Sirianni and Daboll — all have varied ranges of stress on them after dissappointing finishes to the 2023 season. Belichick beforehand received two Tremendous Bowls there throughout his stint as defensive coordinator beneath legendary Giants head coach Invoice Parcells from 1985-90.

Wright’s co-host Chris Broussard additionally believes Belichick and Prescott might workforce up — however in Dallas, not New York.
“That is higher to me — carry Belichick to Dallas,” Broussard asserted. “That is my warning to Jerry Jones and Dak, with all of their flaws. Jerry Jones, you will have a quarterback that I believe theoretically you possibly can win a Tremendous Bowl with. And watch out, as a result of it could possibly be 5 to 10 years earlier than you get one other man like this.”
Prescott’s age-30 season was considered one of his greatest within the NFL. He accomplished a career-high 410 passes (69.5 % of his makes an attempt) for 4,516 yards, tossing 36 touchdowns to simply 9 interceptions and reaching his third Professional Bowl.
