FRISCO, Texas -- Now 32 and in his 10th year as the Dallas Cowboys ' starting quarterback, Dak Prescott is seeing a longer runway on the rest of his playing career.

"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."

Prescott is signed with the Cowboys through 2028, when he would be 35. He has missed games due to a fractured and dislocated ankle (2020), a broken thumb (2022) and a hamstring avulsion (2024) that required surgery.

When he entered the league in 2016, Prescott marveled at how quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Drew Brees played into their 40s but never considered then that he would play as long as they did.
