The Dallas Cowboys have their eyes in a new field marshal, but that does not necessarily mean that Dak Prescott is coming out in Big D.
As said the vice president of the team and the son of the owner Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, to The Dallas Morning News, the cowboys are looking at the Quarterbacks to develop behind Prescott, who has suffered two significant injuries in the last two seasons.
“You know, I think one of our goals is to get a young field marshal in the Draft,” said Stephen, as cited by the Dallas's morning news. 'I don't know where that is going to be.'
Cooper Rush and Trey Lance intervened for an injured Prescott in 2024 without much success. The cowboys acquired a set a year earlier for a fourth round selection in the hope of being able to develop behind Prescott, but the first first round selection completed only 25 of 41 passes in limited action last season.
And as Stephen Jones explained, the quarterbacks, even the project seafood of the project that are not counted to start immediately, tend to climb more in the draft than expected.
“That's why we gave a (fourth round selection) for Trey,” said Stephen. 'It seems that all field marshal, even the guys we have in the fourth round, go in the first. They are always much higher than you think.

Next season he will play with a new coach, the former offensive coordinator of the Cowboys, Brian Schottenheimer, who replaces the deceased Mike McCarthy.

Meanwhile, Brian is better remembered during his years as Jets offensive coordinator.
“Obviously, I have worked with him in recent years, understanding the type of man he is, the way he addresses the game,” Prescott said.
