Cowboys ownership regained leverage on Dak Prescott. But the QB's worth goes beyond stats.

Dak Prescott has thrown 106 touchdown passes for the Dallas Cowboys. He has won 43 games, including one in the playoffs, as a starting quarterback. He has led 15 winning drives.

He’s a very, very good NFL quarterback. He’ll likely be one again following Sunday night surgery to help fix a gruesome leg injury the 27-year-old suffered in a 37-34 victory over the New York Giants.

His recovery time is expected to be four to six months, so the 2020 season is shot. That means the Cowboys and their most recognizable star will enter another offseason with the long-term contract status up in the air.
