Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys finally went all in this offseason by paying up for their franchise quarterback in historic – and atypical – fashion.
Dak Prescott and the Cowboys on Sunday agreed to a record four-year, $240 million deal, per multiple reports, making the passer the highest-paid player in NFL history. As the league’s first $60 million per year player, Prescott leapfrogged the Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow, Jacksonville Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence and Green Bay Packers’ Jordan Love, who all agreed to extensions with an average annual value of $55 million.
Prescott’s new deal includes $231 million guaranteed, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.
The agreement comes on the day Dallas begins its season against the Cleveland Browns. Though Prescott said Thursday that he did not see the Week 1 kickoff as the deadline for getting a deal done, he said on Aug. 29 that whether a contract was reached would indicate “a lot.”
