As Dak Prescott approaches the last year of his deal, the Dallas Cowboys may have a contract conundrum on their hands. Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports that neither “imminent” negotiations nor contract offers for Prescott’s extension are in the works. It’s still possible to work out a new deal, but it’s also a real likelihood that Prescott may be playing his last season in Dallas.
Given this, FanSided’s Christopher Kline has put up a hypothetical trade scenario in which, should Prescott choose to go, the Cowboys would go for New Orleans Saints player Derek Carr.
Given Carr’s four Pro Bowl appearances, daring passes, and explosive plays, Kline thinks this may be the Cowboys’ best opportunity to get an established starter.
With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons emerging as formidable contenders in the NFC South, Kline speculates that the Saints may think about dealing Carr. He notes that Carr would be a good fit in New Orleans because Kyle Shanahan’s offense will probably be implemented by the Saints’ new offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak.

In eight of his ten seasons as a starter, quarterback Derek Carr has passed for at least 21 touchdown passes. He has been a reliable performer in the NFL. Carr has a 72-87 overall record despite his consistent play, which begs the issue of whether he can consistently guide a club to victory.
