DALLAS (105.3 the Fan) - In a recent appearance on the Herd with Colin Cowherd, former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson did not hold back in his concerns with the team's decision to sign Dak Prescott to his record deal.

In the interview, Johnson not only expressed concerns on the team's lack of salary cap flexibility going forward, but more prominently in Prescott's ability to take the Cowboys to the next level.

"I think he's a great leader for the team. I think the team really rallies around him," Johnson said. "So he is a positive influence there. Before the injury, he could make plays with his legs, he could run the football, and he fits into their system. But he has had problems, at times, being inaccurate, but with that receiving core, he gets people open. But I like Dak, and I'm kind of like you, I think he can win you a championship if he has great players around him. I don't think Dak can carry a football team if he doesn't have great players around him."
