NFL Rumors: Dak Prescott’s contract extension expected to eclipse Lamar Jackson’s monster $52,000,000 deal

Dak Prescott is one of the most well-known NFL players, and the Dallas Cowboys quarterback is generating headlines once again. The two-time Pro Bowler is having a tremendous 2023-24 season, and the Cowboys have already locked up a playoff position. He is also a strong candidate for the NFL MVP this season.

The 30-year-old leads the league with 30 passing touchdowns and seven interceptions, totaling 3,892 passing yards. Given his brilliance on the field, the Cowboys are expected to offer him a lucrative contract that might well exceed Lamar Jackson’s.

According to Jordan Schultz of B/R, the Dallas Cowboys are eager to conclude a contract extension with Prescott. If the deal goes through, he would be one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL.

Prescott presently earns an average of $40,000,000 and is the league’s joint tenth highest-paid quarterback, according to Spotrac. According to reports, the 30-year-old is in line for a significant raise, with a new contract expected to be worth between $55 and $60 million.

If the parameters are agreed upon, the Cowboys star’s extension will not only top Lamar Jackson’s $52,000,000 contract, but it may also exceed Joe Burrow’s annual salary with the Cincinnati Bengals. On average, burrowing costs up to $550,000,000.

Dak Prescott agreed to a four-year, $160 million contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys in March 2021. His contract expires next year, and both parties are’motivated’ to maintain their relationship for years to come.

The ball, however, is in Prescott’s court. The 30-year-old’s current contract has a no-trade and no-tag clause, which gives him tremendous negotiating power. If an agreement is not struck, he will be a free agency following the 2024 season.

However, the Cowboys remain optimistic about getting Prescott to sign on the dotted line. Franchise owner Jerry Jones is full of praise for his star quarterback and believes the 2022 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year will stay with the organization for a long time.

In September, Jones told 105.3 The Fan in Dallas that

Those numbers on those contracts, especially the huge ones, are something you’re constantly thinking about. So it’s on the mind for a player decision in the middle of the season. So it’s only a fundamental. We expect Dak to be with us for a long time.
