Without a doubt, Dak Prescott is the biggest name entering free agency next season. And his value continues to soar even in his absence due to injury. Prescott has been warming the bench for the Dallas Cowboys with Andy Dalton stepping in for him.

The numbers comparison between the Cowboys with and without Dak is all the evidence he needs for a big payday. The Cowboys will be desperate to retain Dak, but it may not be so easy.

Prescott is one of the high-ceiling quarterbacks in the NFL right now and is a rare commodity. Any team would be lucky to acquire him in free agency.

A team like the Eagles should definitely make a run for him, given how poor their quarterback prospects are right now.

Chris Godwin

Chris Godwin has seen his career value skyrocket since he joined Tampa Bay. A third-round pick in the 2017 draft, Godwin has gone from strength to strength. The former Penn State wide receiver had a fantastic 2019 season. He averaged about 15.5 yards per reception and scored 9 touchdowns.

Godwin would add to any offensive unit in the NFL. Given his prowess and ability to carry the ball, any team with a solid quarterback could benefit from having Godwin running down the field. Godwin could also end up staying with the Buccaneers, in order to maximize Tom Brady’s time with the Buccs.

Allen Robinson II

Allen Robinson II is a sure thing for any team that chooses to get him. The wide receiver has consistently put up good numbers during his time with the Chicago Bears despite not having an excellent quarterback to supply him with decent passes.

For the past 2 seasons, he has averaged close to 11.7 yards per reception and not fumbled the ball even once. Robinson should ideally go to a team with a solid quarterback. Him signing with the Packers or New Orleans could be exciting.

Just the idea of Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees supplying passes for him to finish off is a scary prospect for defending teams.
