While the NFL world spirals with trade rumors, Dak Prescott did the opposite of what you’d expect—he went quiet. No debate, no drama, just a collection of personal snapshots and a caption that felt more like a message. At first glance, it seemed like just another offseason post. But was it? Or did Prescott just make his stance crystal clear without saying a word?
The Cowboys QB just dropped an Instagram post featuring a bunch of adorable family moments. His fiancée Sarah Jane Ramos, their daughter, and their dogs—with the caption, “Wouldn’t Trade These Days!”. Rather than engaging with speculation about his future, the post was a reminder that for him, family comes first—above contracts, trade talks, and the pressures of the NFL.
Let’s talk about his family real quick. Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane started dating in 2023, and things moved fast in the best way. They welcomed their daughter, Margaret Jane “MJ” Rose, in February 2024. Named after his late mother, Peggy Prescott. And then got engaged in October. And Dak didn’t hold back on the proposal, either. He popped the question with a 10-carat emerald-cut diamond ring during a golf outing. Not long after, in December 2024, they announced baby No. 2 is on the way! Their second daughter is due in May 2025, and her middle name, Rayne, is actually a nod to Dak’s first name. “He’s so hands-on and so sweet with MJ. It’s been really special to watch,” Sarah Jane said.
If you know anything about Dak, you know family means everything to him—especially because of his late mother, Peggy. She passed away from colon cancer in 2013, and he’s been vocal about how much she shaped him. “I do everything in my life for her. I live my life for her,” he once said. To honor her, he started the Faith Fight Finish Foundation, which supports cancer research and mental health awareness. That last part hits close to home too—Dak lost his brother Jace to suicide in 2020, and since then, he’s been a strong advocate for mental health. “Losing my mom and watching her fight motivated me. As much as I can raise awareness and educate people on how to get ahead of cancer, showing how to make your adversity your inspiration is probably the most significant goal,” he shared.
So yeah, this IG post? It wasn’t just some random family post. It was Dak Prescott’s way of reminding everyone what truly matters to him—his fiancée, his daughter, and his dogs. And low-key, it also seemed like a subtle way to shut down all the trade rumors floating around. People have been speculating that he might get shipped to the Cleveland Browns, but insiders like NFL Network’s Jane Slater called that “fake news.” On top of that, his contract has a full no-trade clause, meaning he controls where (or if) he goes anywhere.
Plus, the way his deal is structured, trading him would leave the Cowboys with a huge cap hit, so financially, it doesn’t even make sense. If Dallas were to trade him before June 1, they would incur a dead cap hit of approximately $148 million in 2025, an unprecedented amount that would severely restrict their ability to sign or retain other players.
Despite all the noise, Jerry Jones still backs Dak Prescott, and the Cowboys’ offseason moves suggest they’re not done with him yet. Sure, people like Colin Cowherd have been saying Dallas should consider moving on, but let’s be real—Prescott’s been the face of the franchise, and the front office is still making moves to build around him. They’re releasing veterans, tweaking contracts, and gearing up for the NFL Draft—all signs that Dak is still their guy (at least for now).
So, is Dak Prescott getting traded? Honestly, not likely. But one thing’s for sure—he wouldn’t trade these days for anything.
Dak’s offseason: Injury blues to beast mode
Dak Prescott is back at it, and he’s showing off his new look like never before. After a rough 2024 season that ended with hamstring surgery, Prescott is turning heads with his offseason glow-up. According to a video shared by NFL insider Dov Kleiman, he’s in the “best shape of his life”—and you can tell from his intense workout clip. It’s clear that the trade rumors are down. Prescott is all about proving his critics wrong on the field.

His 2024 season didn’t exactly go as planned. A nasty injury—a partial avulsion of his right hamstring tendon during a Week 9 game against the Falcons—forced him into a season-ending surgery. Up until that point, he put up numbers like 1,978 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and eight interceptions over eight games, finishing with a passer rating of 86.0. It wasn’t his best run, but instead of letting the setback define him, he’s used it as motivation to bounce back stronger.
By December 2024, Dak Prescott was already hitting major rehab milestones. He mentioned that he’s been able to drive independently and walk without any assistance, and he’s confident about his recovery. He’s set on joining the Cowboys’ offseason program at full throttle—with no restrictions holding him back. His trainer, Dakorey Johnson, has been dropping workout clips that show just how much Prescott’s transformation has taken off. It’s safe to say he’s looking faster, stronger, and way more explosive than before.
With the 2025 season around the corner, Prescott is clearly ready to make a statement. He’s got a lot riding on this comeback, especially with all the contract drama and trade chatter swirling around him. But if his recent progress is any hint, expect him to hit the field with a vengeance and remind everyone why he’s still one of the league’s top QBs.
