Dak Prescott has made history by signing a four-year, $240 million contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history with an average of $60 million per season. The deal, which includes $231 million in guaranteed money, was finalized just hours before the Cowboys' season opener against the Cleveland Browns. Prescott's performance, including leading the league in passing touchdowns last season, has bolstered his position, although some fans express concerns regarding the team's salary cap implications for future contracts, particularly for linebacker Micah Parsons. Prescott, who has a 2-5 postseason record, aims to help the Cowboys achieve playoff success, which has eluded them since 1995. The Cowboys also extended wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who signed a four-year, $136 million deal, further solidifying the team's financial commitments. With these moves, the Cowboys are betting on a promising season ahead.
