Overview

  • Rumors surfaced suggesting the Dallas Cowboys were negotiating a trade of quarterback Dak Prescott to the Cleveland Browns, reportedly involving Greg Newsome II and draft picks.
  • NFL Network's Jane Slater and other credible sources confirmed that the Cowboys are not actively pursuing such a trade, calling the rumors 'fake news.'
  • Prescott's contract includes a full no-trade clause, giving him the ability to veto any potential deal, further complicating the feasibility of a trade.
  • The financial implications for both teams are significant, with the Cowboys facing a $95.3 million dead cap hit if they trade Prescott before June 1, 2025, and the Browns having limited cap space to absorb his contract.
  • The Cleveland Browns, dealing with Deshaun Watson's injury, are expected to address their quarterback needs in the 2025 NFL Draft, where they hold the No. 2 overall pick.
