In a move that solidifies his status as one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks, Dak Prescott has agreed to a four-year, $240 million contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys. The deal, which was announced on the eve of the team’s season opener, ensures that Prescott will remain with the Cowboys through the 2028 season.
Prescott, who was entering the final year of his current contract, had been negotiating with the Cowboys for several months. The two sides had been working towards a long-term agreement, and the extension is a testament to the quarterback’s hard work and dedication to the team.
The $240 million deal makes Prescott one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL, with an average annual salary of $60 million. The contract includes a $75 million signing bonus and $126 million in guaranteed money.
“We are thrilled to have Dak as our quarterback for the foreseeable future,” said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. “He has proven himself to be a leader on and off the field, and we believe he has the talent and work ethic to lead our team to great success.”
Prescott, who has been with the Cowboys since 2016, has established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the league. He has led the team to several playoff appearances and has been named to two Pro Bowls.
“I’m grateful to the Jones family and the entire Cowboys organization for their commitment to me,” Prescott said in a statement. “I’m excited to continue leading this team and working towards our goal of bringing a championship to Dallas.”
The extension is a significant move for the Cowboys, who have made it clear that they believe Prescott is the quarterback to lead them to success. With the deal in place, the team can now focus on the upcoming season, which kicks off on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
The Cowboys are expected to be one of the top teams in the NFC this season, and Prescott’s extension is a key factor in their success. With a strong supporting cast, including running back Ezekiel Elliott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, Prescott is poised to have another standout season.
As the NFL season gets underway, all eyes will be on Prescott and the Cowboys. With their star quarterback locked up for the long haul, the team is ready to make a run at the championship.
