The Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott have made history with their newly agreed upon contract extension. At four years and $240 million, this deal solidifies Prescott as the highest-paid player in NFL history. Not only that, but the star quarterback will remain in a Cowboys uniform through the 2028 season. This groundbreaking agreement includes an astonishing $231 million guaranteed, setting a new record for the league. With a $60 million average annual value, Prescott’s contract surpasses recent deals signed by other top quarterbacks like Joe Burrow, Jordan Love, and Trevor Lawrence.
The inclusion of an $80 million signing bonus further cements Prescott’s place in NFL history, breaking the previous record held by Jordan Love. The Cowboys‘ announcement of this deal comes just before their season opener against the Cleveland Browns. Negotiations between the team and Prescott had been ongoing throughout the weekend, ultimately resulting in this historic extension. By securing Prescott for the future, the Cowboys have avoided a potential salary cap dilemma and solidified their quarterback position for years to come.
After a season-ending ankle injury in 2020, Dak Prescott returned stronger than ever to lead the Cowboys to the postseason in each of the last three seasons. With a strong bond with head coach Mike McCarthy, Prescott has the potential to leave a lasting legacy in Dallas. His impressive stats, including 4,516 passing yards and 36 touchdown passes last season, position him as one of the top quarterbacks in franchise history. Prescott’s leadership and performance on the field have earned him the respect of teammates and fans alike.
Despite his individual success, Prescott’s ultimate goal is to bring a Super Bowl championship back to Dallas. The team’s last Super Bowl win dates back to 1995, with Troy Aikman as the quarterback. Prescott has embraced the pressure of following in the footsteps of Cowboys legends like Aikman and Roger Staubach. He understands the expectations that come with wearing the star on his helmet and is determined to deliver a championship to the loyal fan base.
Off the field, Dak Prescott is making a difference in the community through his Faith, Fight, Finish Foundation. His commitment to giving back led to him being named the winner of the Walter Payton Man of the Year award in 2022. Prescott’s willingness to use his platform for good has endeared him to fans both on and off the field. As he embarks on this new chapter with the Cowboys, Prescott remains focused on making a positive impact both on and off the field.
