The Historic Deal: Dak Prescott Signs $240 Million, Four-Year Contract Extension with Cowboys

After weeks of uncertainty, the Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott have finally reached a monumental agreement. The Cowboys have signed Prescott to a historic $240 million, four-year contract extension, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history. The deal includes a guaranteed $231 million for Prescott.

This contract extension comes just hours before the Cowboys kick off their season, bringing an end to the speculation surrounding Prescott’s future with the team. Upon confirming the extension, Prescott expressed his excitement to WFAA’s All City DLLS Cowboys beat reporter Clarence Hill Jr., stating, “It’s time to go win.”

With this deal in place, the Cowboys have secured the futures of their key offensive players, solidifying their lineup for the upcoming season. Alongside Prescott’s record-breaking contract, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb also received a significant extension, making him the second-highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.

Former Cowboys quarterback and Super Bowl champion Troy Aikman applauded the team’s decision to lock in Prescott’s future, emphasizing the importance of securing a franchise quarterback. Aikman noted that getting the deal done before the start of the season was crucial to avoid any distractions for Prescott.

As Prescott prepares to lead the Cowboys into the 2024-2025 season, the team is gearing up for their season opener against the Cleveland Browns. The highly anticipated matchup will showcase Prescott’s leadership and commitment to the team, backed by a historic contract that cements his place in NFL history.
