Dallas Cowboys: Peter Schrager tips team to sign QB in 'match made in heaven'

The Dallas Cowboys could turn to Cam Newton as they look to find a replacement for Dak Prescott following his injury on Sunday night, Peter Schrager has claimed.

Franchise quarterback Dak Prescott suffered an injury to his thumb late in the 4th quarter, which was just the icing on the cake of what was a terrible night for the Dallas Cowboys as they lost at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers without scoring a single touchdown, the only team in the NFL to do so in Week 1.

The initial consensus surrounding Prescott’s injury appears to be positive, with reports emerging that he will only be out for between 4-6 weeks, with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones adding to the positive vibes by stating that he believes that Prescott will be back on the earlier end of that timeframe. 

But whilst the outlook might be positive, the Cowboys are still without a starting calibre quarterback for the next couple of weeks, and discussion has begun about whether or not they should bring someone in from outside the franchise, or if they should continue with what they have. 

At the moment, the only choices are backup quarterback Cooper Rush and current practice squad member Will Grier, who combined have thrown a total of 115 passes in the NFL for a combined 716 yards (via Stathead.com), not exactly the greatest selection for a team that wants to be considered amongst the contenders for the Super Bowl this year.

That’s where Cam Newton comes in.

The 2015 NFL MVP is currently a free agent, still looking for a team after his spell with the Carolina Panthers in 2021 and time with the New England Patriots in 2020.

Newton has put up 32,382 passing yards to go along with 194 touchdowns through the air, whilst also having 5,628 rushing yards to go along with 75
