BREAKING: Dak Prescott signed a new 4-year deal with The Dallas Cowboys worth $240m
Just hours before the season opener, news broke that quarterback Dak Prescott is set to sign a new contract with the Dallas Cowboys.
This new deal surpasses his previous contract, which was the largest in franchise history, and makes Prescott the highest-paid player in the NFL.
The offseason drama centered around whether the Cowboys would extend Prescott’s contract. The team also delayed extending wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who eventually received a four-year, $136 million deal.
Prescott is expected to finish his career as the Dallas Cowboys’ all-time leader in most statistical categories, given the new contract.
Despite criticisms about his playoff performance, Prescott has led the Cowboys to the postseason five times in his eight seasons. His teams have advanced to the Divisional Round three times, with two of those coming after playoff victories, as his rookie year included a first-round bye.
With the new deal, Prescott has the opportunity to lead the Cowboys out of their current drought and solidify the passing game’s future, especially now that CeeDee Lamb’s contract situation has been resolved.
