This joyous occasion marks a new chapter in Prescott’s life as he takes on the responsibilities of fatherhood alongside his successful football career.
Dak Prescott has already started changing diapers but hopes to pass on that responsibility soon. The Cowboys quarterback announced in November that he and his girlfriend, Sarah, were expecting a child.
Prescott expressed excitement for the challenges of raising a daughter and starting a family. The couple had referred to their unborn child as “Baby MJ” in a previous post.
Congratulating the couple on the birth of their daughter, the news comes as the Cowboys are recovering from a disappointing playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Owner Jerry Jones has stated his intention to go all-in for the 2024 season. When asked about Prescott’s contract, Jones expressed no fear, emphasizing his focus on improving the team.
Prescott had an impressive 2023 campaign, leading the Cowboys to first place in the NFC East with 36 touchdown passes and over 4,500 yards.
His performance earned him a second-place finish in MVP voting. Although a contract extension with Prescott is expected, it is not guaranteed.
Jones stressed the need for compromise and evaluating alternatives if negotiations don’t pan out. Prescott’s future with the team remains uncertain.
Fans reacted as follows.
Baby 🐐
