Prescott's $240M Deal, Playoff Doubts for Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott signed a four-year, $240 million contract, making him the NFL's highest-paid player, but his ranking among top quarterbacks is under debate, with some analysts questioning if he is even in the top 10. The Cowboys are projected to win just 7.5 games this season, fueling doubts about their playoff potential. Critics often single out Prescott for the team's postseason shortcomings, though analysts also cite the team's ineffective running game as a major factor. The NFL quarterback market continues to evolve, with Brock Purdy's new five-year, $265 million deal making him the seventh-highest paid QB, still behind Prescott. As more young quarterbacks seek extensions, the financial hierarchy is expected to shift. The debate over Prescott’s value remains central as the Cowboys approach the new season.
