Jerry Jones was defeated by Dak Prescott once more at his own game, which is bad news for the Cowboys.
By Saloni
Usually, Dak Prescott's critics will bring out his dearth of noteworthy NFL victories. If only you could get rewarded with a ring for bringing your boss to justice.
After lengthy discussions, the veteran quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys wrung a top-of-market contract deal from team owner Jerry Jones on Sunday morning, marking the second time in less than three years.
Prescott secured a record $231 million in guarantees and became the first player in the NFL to earn $60 million year (over four seasons).
This was a substantial departure from his closest competitors. ... demonstrating once more why he's one of the greatest businesspeople who have ever worn a professional football uniform (think Kirk Cousins, Darrelle Revis, Drew Brees, Walter Jones, or Deion Sanders).
While Todd France, Prescott's agent, also deserves a great deal of credit, the three-time Pro Bowler gave his representation practically all of the leverage as he entered the walk year of his four-year, $160 million
contract that was about to expire after finishing second in the league for MVP and recording an NFL-high 36 touchdown passes in 2023.
Four-time NFC East champion Prescott was also protected from trade or tag at a time when the top quarterback in the market was making $55 million a year.
Among the impressed is Bobby Wagner, a Washington Commanders linebacker who has been an All-Pro for eight years and acts as his own agent.
You have to desire to learn and put in the effort, in my opinion. In reference to the 2020 franchise tag that Prescott played on, when his season was cut short after five games due to a complex fracture to his leg and a dislocated ankle.
