Dak Prescott’s contract saga has been the number one offseason story for Cowboys fans. But elsewhere around the league, other superstar quarterbacks are looking for ways out of their own situations.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson requested but didn’t request a trade – weird, I know – naming the Dallas Cowboys as one of his four potential destinations. This immediately sent the football world into a whirlwind, with everyone dreaming up potential Prescott/Wilson trade packages between the NFC foes.
Prescott’s agent, Todd France, didn’t take too kindly to the trade rumors. France told CBS Sports’ Adam Schein that “there’s so many things wrong with it” when asked about Wilson including the Cowboys on his wishlist of teams. 
Given that Dak Prescott was in the midst of a serious contract discussion with the organization, it’s understandable to me that France would be a bit salty with Wilson and his representatives. There’s supposed to be a level of fraternity among NFL players, especially between two faces of the entire league. Russell Wilson could have thrown a real wrench in Prescott’s ability to land the longterm deal that he eventually signed.
Both the Cowboys and Dak Prescott remained focused on the task at hand, however, making sure to ink the deal before things got too spicy between the two this offseason.
Now Russell Wilson and the Seahawks can cross the Cowboys off that potential wishlist, for now and for as long as Dak Prescott remains the face of America’s Team.
