It is said that Dak Prescott’s next deal will make him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league.
He’ll have to wait until the next season.
Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network said it is likely that the Dallas Cowboys will agree to a long-term contract with the quarterback that will make him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league after the 2023 season.
This isn’t a surprise after hearing what Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said recently.
Jones told Dianna Russini of The Athletic in October, “He’s under contract right now, but we’d like to do this after the season.” “We will work on that after the season is over.” We will have Dak as our quarterback.
Prescott’s play is being recognized by the looming deal, but there is also a financial side to this move.
On the fifth day of the new league year, Rapoport said he is due a $5 million roster bonus. In addition, if his deal doesn’t change, he will cost the team about $60 million in salary caps in 2024, making it harder for them to make free agent and other roster moves.
So, the deal could be signed before the roster bonus. This would protect the quarterback’s future with the only NFL team he has ever known and give the front office more time to improve the team around him.Before the 2023 season, there were some doubts about Prescott. In 2022, he led the NFL with 15 picks, even though he missed five games. He has done a great job of responding by making 70.1% of his passes, which has led to 3,234 yards, 26 touchdowns, and six interceptions.This year, no quarterback has thrown for more touchdowns than this one. With a 9-3 record, his Cowboys are well in the running for the playoffs.As Dallas tries to win its first Suρer Bowl since 1995, how it does in the playoffs will finally define the team. However, Prescott has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league this season and will reportedly be paid accordingly with his next deal.
