Massive contract extension predicted for Dak Prescott

The Dallas Cowboys have made it clear that Dak Prescott is their starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. In fact, team owner and general manager Jerry Jones recently stated that he hopes that Prescott starts under center for his team for literally the next decade! Talk about dedication to one player. 

While Prescott has two years remaining on his already hefty current contract, he’s projected to make some serious additional bank with his next deal. And according to K.D. Drummond of Cowboys Wire, it’s going to be a monster extension.

How does five years and nearly $300 million sound? 

“In this projection, there are two void years (2030, 2031) to allow for bonus proration and future cap conversions.

The average salary of the new money being sent to Prescott would be $51 million, $2 million more than Wilson’s $49 million signed in 2022.

Prescott currently has $34 million of cash due to him in 2024, making the total value of this deal $289 million across six seasons.

Wilson had two years remaining on his deal when traded to Denver, so his five-year extension made it a seven-year deal for $296 million in cash, or $42.3 million on average.”
