Former NFL GM Believes Cowboys Could Trade Up To Draft Young QB Next Season

The Dallas Cowboys are dealing with an interesting predicament at quarterback right now.

They are trying to figure out if or how they are going to pay their franchise quarterback Dak Prescott.

However, the regular season is right around the corner and time is running out on Jerry Jones to make a decision.

Former NFL GM and current ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum believes Dallas could trade up to draft a quarterback in next year’s NFL Draft if they lose Prescott as a free agent.

‘There’s a better chance, in my opinion, that Shedeur Sanders could be the quarterback there next year than Dak Prescott at this point,” Tannenbaum recently said on Get Up.

This is a fascinating conversation right now.

Prescott is coming off of the best season of his career from a statistical perspective and was in the MVP race for a bit.

Now, Dallas is running the risk of letting him play one more year without an extension, which might end up being his final year in Dallas.

That is why Tannenbaum believes they could trade up to take a quarterback such as Shedeur Sanders out of Colorado.

That makes perfect sense considering Sanders’ talent, his father’s connection to the iconic franchise, and Jerry Jones’s desire to not give Prescott a new contract.

The only thing Cowboys fans can do now is wait to see what happens between now and the start of the regular season.

But as Tannenbaum points out, if both sides wanted to get this deal done, it could have been done by now.
