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 average annual salary of $60 million. The deal includes $231 million in guaranteed money, surpassing the previous record held by Deshaun Watson. Prescott's new contract locks him in with the Cowboys through the 2028 season, coinciding with a similar extension for wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. While the deal solidifies Prescott's position with the team, it has sparked mixed reactions among fans, some of whom question whether the Cowboys overpaid given Prescott's playoff record. Comparisons have emerged between Prescott's earnings and those of soccer stars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, highlighting the lucrative nature of his contract. The Cowboys aim to leverage this extension to break their long Super Bowl drought, which has lasted since 1995.
