Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott changes tune on potential retirement age

The Dallas Cowboys' offense has been rolling at the start of the 2025 regular season. One of the main reasons this offense has been on fire has been quarterback Dak Prescott.

The pressure was on Prescott to deliver this season, and the highest-paid player in the league is currently doing just that.

However, retirement talk was recently a discussion for the 32-year-old veteran. When speaking to Todd Archer of ESPN about his future, Prescott can see himself playing a lot longer than he originally thought.

"Forties would be a good number," Prescott said.

"Obviously, I've been through some injuries, played very physical in college, so if I can get to 40 playing at the standard that I want, yeah, that would be awesome."

Quarterbacks playing into their forties has become somewhat normal. For instance, the greatest quarterback to ever play the game, Tom Brady, played until he was 45.

Prescott did talk about injuries that have shortened past seasons, like the hamstring injury from last year. However, if he can evolve his game, there's no reason he can't play for another decade.

It's been an exciting start to the season for Prescott and his offensive unit. Fans should be thrilled if Prescott is under center for this team for the next decade.
