NFL News: Dak Prescott surprisingly changes his mind about contract extension with Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys have agreed a contract extension with quarterback Dak Prescott which will make him the highest-paid player in NFL history.
Prescott, 31, has agreed to a four-year contract extension reportedly worth $240m (£183m), with $231m (£176m) of that total coming in guaranteed money and a signing bonus of $80m (£61m).
At $60m (£46m) a season, that will make Prescott the highest-paid player in NFL history, eclipsing the $55m (£42m) average annual salary on new deals signed by Joe Burrow, Jordan Love and Trevor Lawrence.
The guaranteed sum of $231m is also a record, at just $1m (£760,000) more than the Cleveland Browns handed Deshaun Watson in 2022.
News of the deal, which will run until the end of the 2028 season, emerged hours before Dallas opened their season with a 33-17 win over the Browns on Sunday.
“I hope after today we’re done talking about it and my pockets,” Prescott said after throwing for 179 yards and a touchdown in the win.
“And could just move forward and focus on this team and the success that we plan to have and what we’re working toward.”
