"Dak Prescott - After what many considered a resurgent year for Prescott, the 32-year-old has as strong a grip on the starting job as ever. Even if Dallas was waffling, his contract makes it a moot point until at least 2027. But an encouragingly strong year, in which Dak stayed healthy and played his way back into some MVP discussions, offers hope going forward. He's always going to have his moments, but he was far from the reason that the Cowboys struggled last year. If anything, he was one of the few positives."
"Joe Milton III - With two years left on his original rookie deal, which Dallas traded a fourth-round pick to acquire last spring, Milton isn't going anywhere soon. He spent all of 2025 as the primary backup and could easily handle the same duties next year. At the very least, he'll be back to compete in training camp against whoever else the Cowboys might add. Milton's athletic gifts are undeniable, and this will be his first NFL offseason where he isn't adjusting to a new offense."
"Will Grier - The seventh-year veteran spent all of last season on Dallas' practice squad and as an emergency option only. He'll only be 31 after April, so there's no reason to think he couldn't return in the same capacity. He's well-liked, especially by Prescott, and must bring enough to the QB room and practice field that Dallas brought him back in 2024 after a nearly two-year break. If Grier allows Dallas to get away with only keeping two QBs on the regular 53-man roster, and at practice squad cost, he may find more work here."
Dak Prescott enters 2026 as the clear starting quarterback, backed by a contract that effectively secures the job through at least 2027 after a resurgent, healthy season that renewed MVP-level talk. Joe Milton III remains the primary backup with two years left on his rookie deal, prepared to reprise backup duties and compete in training camp while benefiting from his first full offseason in the same system. Will Grier provides experienced practice-squad and emergency depth, is well-liked in the QB room, and could return in a low-cost role. Overall, significant offseason investment at quarterback appears unlikely; depth adjustments may be limited to practice-squad moves.
