Dak Prescott has signed a four-year, $240 million contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history with $231 million guaranteed. The deal, finalized shortly before the Cowboys' season opener against the Cleveland Browns, reflects months of negotiation and comes after frustrations from fans over other quarterbacks receiving higher pay without Prescott's accomplishments. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed happiness about the timely completion of the deal and emphasized the team's commitment to surrounding Prescott with talent for a Super Bowl run. Prescott himself stated that he only feels pressure from his own performance, not the contract. The Cowboys also recently secured a deal for wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, making them the only team with two of the top 20 highest-paid players in the league. As Prescott's leadership remains crucial, the focus now shifts to postseason success, which has eluded him so far in his career.
