Michael Irvin: Cowboys would be ‘insane’ to replace Dak Prescott with Tom Brady

Michael Irvin helped give life to the rumor that the Dallas Cowboys are interested in replacing Dak Prescott with Tom Brady. Now he’s trashing the logic of that rumor.

Irvin said last week that he’d been told by “very significant people” that the Cowboys were considering letting Prescott leave and bringing Brady in to replace him. Now, Irving says that the “significant people” he spoke to were not affiliated with the Cowboys, that it would be “insane” for the franchise to do such a thing, and that Brady is finished as an elite quarterback.

“I said what somebody said. That should no way be taken as those are my thoughts on what should happen,” Irvin said, via Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Star-Telegram. “Ain’t no way in world that should happen. That would be insane. Are you kidding me? Are you out of your mind? It’s over for Tom.”

Expect Brady to use those words as motivation as he prepares for another NFL season. That aside, nobody seems to seriously think this is on the table. The Cowboys have made no secret of their desire to keep Prescott, and the two sides are going to try to work out a long-term deal. As for Brady, the consensus right now is that there’s only one team that could pull him away from the New England Patriots.
