Dak Prescott landed the BAG! ...
But is he worth it? According to an announcement Sunday from Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, the franchise and superstar quarterback Dak Prescot t have come to an agreement on a contract extension of four years, $240 million. The mammoth price of the deal will make Prescott the highest-paid player in NFL history and will have him stay under contract with the Cowboys until the conclusion of the 2028 campaign. Out of the $240 million, a whopping $231 million of it is guaranteed, the most ever in the history of the league.
The previous record belonged to Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson , who raked in $230 million.

Prescott’s deal has an average annual value of $60 million, which is also the most in league history.
On top of that, his contract features a record-breaking signing bonus of $80 million. Just remarkable numbers. A deadline deal: Hours before Dallas kicked off its season, it reached agreement with QB Dak Prescott on a four-year contract, $240 million extension that will make him the highest-paid player in NFL history and keep him in a Cowboys uniform for seasons to come, per sources.
