Dak Prescott has signed a record-breaking four-year, $240 million contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history with an annual average of $60 million and $231 million guaranteed. This deal secures Prescott's future with the team through the 2028 season, aligning with receiver CeeDee Lamb's recent extension, collectively impacting the Cowboys' salary cap significantly. Owner Jerry Jones expressed confidence in Prescott's abilities despite the quarterback's playoff struggles, emphasizing the commitment to winning a championship. The timing of the deal, announced before the season opener against the Cleveland Browns, eliminates any speculation about Prescott's future with the Cowboys. With Prescott now off the free agent market, attention shifts to how the Cowboys will manage their salary cap with two of the league's highest-paid players. The deal not only highlights Prescott's talent but also sets a new precedent in the NFL for quarterback compensation.
