That estimated sum makes sense, particularly for a quarterback with Prescott’s caliber of play. The legendary Cowboys player amassed 4,516 yards of total yardage, nine interceptions, and 36 touchdowns in just one season. Dallas, with a 12-6 record at the end of the regular season, was led by Prescott.
Prescott passed for over 400 yards in that playoff game, despite the Cowboys’ loss to Green Bay. Putting aside his criticism of his performance against the Packers, the quarterback became a stronger leader for Dallas by accepting responsibility for the defeat.
Right now, Prescott’s $59.4 million contract is extended through the end of 2024. Given his play in the previous season, he stands a decent chance of receiving a larger contract in a new deal.Dallas Cowboys To Face Dak Prescott’s Possible $60 Million Contract Next Season
Prescott’s situation is definitely one of the more interesting topics during the offseason. Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report dives into the Cowboy’s predicament and explains what can happen here:
“It was Dak Prescott’s finest season to date. Nevertheless, Dallas is still obligated to pay Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb, and, most likely, Dak Prescott. As I’ve stated publicly, I think Dak Prescott will earn about $60 million a year, which would make him the highest-paid quarterback in football,” Schultz stated.
The environment for quarterbacks and their value in the NFL will undoubtedly change if Prescott wins this case. The Cowboys’ plans for the upcoming season are still unknown, as is their desire to keep their standout quarterback.
