Dak Prescott would love nothing more than to be down on the field helping his team on Thanksgiving.
The Dallas Cowboys’ annual Thanksgiving Day game provides camera time for him anyway since he is watching the contest against the New York Giants with the team’s coordinators.
Inside AT&T Stadium, Prescott was shown to millions of people across the nation as Fox cameras showed him sitting with a headset on and paying attention to the team’s activities.
Social media couldn’t help but notice that Dak Prescott seemed to like his fair share of H2O.
There was as many as four bottles of water in front of Dak.

It’s not exactly a bad thing to keep your body filled with water.
Dak Prescott’s hamstring injury against the Atlanta Falcone earlier this year turned out to be a partial tendon avulsion, meaning the hamstring pulled partway off the bone.
Prescott and the team decided that surgery was the proper course of action, and it effectively ended his year.
Former Cowboys Coach Thinks Franchise Made Mistake With Dak Prescott Extension
The Dallas Cowboys are in the midst of a disappointing 4-7 season as they currently play on Thanksgiving.
Before the season, the team signed Prescott to a record-setting extension, which, along with the signing of CeeDee Lamb, will account for a large chunk of the Cowboys’ salary cap in 2025.
The team is already facing an uphill battle now, and this offseason will be another one.
Former Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson believes the franchise made a mistake with Dak Prescott’s deal.
“They’re so financially strapped with all these contracts,” Johnson said on FS1’s “The Herd.”
“First of all, I would’ve never given Prescott a new contract. I would’ve let him play it out. He’s the highest-paid player in the league. He’s not the best player in the league. He wasn’t going to go anywhere. If you go to the Super Bowl with him, hey, wasn’t going to go anywhere. Pay him whatever. If he struggled in the playoffs, then you negotiate. If he got hurt, you save money.
“But they’re so financially strapped right now, I don’t know what they do.”
Dallas Cowboys Set The NFL On Fireworks By Dealing QB Dak Prescott To Longtime AFC Rival In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

The Dallas Cowboys kick off their 2024 NFL campaign in 15 days, and Jerry Jones still hasn’t extended quarterback Dak Prescott or wide receiver CeeDee Lamb as they head into their contract years.
Dak Prescott has one year remaining on the four-year, $160 million extension he signed with Dallas in the 2021 offseason, while the 25-year-old CeeDee Lamb is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie deal.
Some fans have started to wonder if Jones would be open to trading Prescott and Lamb. Of course, his preference is to keep both of them, but what if the Cowboys owner received an offer for his star quarterback that he can’t refuse?
The scenario seems crazy at first, but it’s not. What if Jones traded Prescott, punted on 2024 and set himself up to tank and draft a new franchise quarterback in Georgia’s Carson Beck, Texas’ Quinn Ewers or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders next year?
One team that makes perfect sense for Dak Prescott is the Pittsburgh Steelers, who haven’t had an above-average quarterback play since Ben Roethlisberger’s last healthy season way-back-when in 2018.

Pittsburgh’s new QB duo of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields have struggled considerably in preseason, where the competition is supposed to be easier. If these two can’t cut it in the regular season, the Steelers can kiss their hopes of a seventh Lombardi Trophy goodbye.
But imagine if the Steelers went all-in for a top-10 quarterback like Dak Prescott. He’d be loaded with playmakers in George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth, Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren, to go along with a future Hall of Fame head coach in Mike Tomlin and a top-10 defense.
What Steelers Should Offer Cowboys For Dak Prescott
If Prescott came to Pittsburgh and signed an extension, their Super Bowl window would be wide open for years to come. And they would easily emerge as a legitimate threat to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC.
Considering that, the Steelers should offer a package of 2025 and 2026 first-round picks, a 2025 second-rounder, a 2026 fourth-rounder and Justin Fields. That’s a fair price for a 31-year-old signal-caller, and the Cowboys would set themselves up perfectly to tank and land a marquee QB prospect in the 2025 draft.
