Dak Prescott has been the focal point of many rumors surrounding the Dallas Cowboys. While the star quarterback is in a contract year with the team that drafted him, it seems that it is likely that he will become a free agent after the 2024 season. However, according to one NFL insider, Dak will break the bank no matter where he ends up for the 2025 season.
NFL Insider Says Dak Prescott Will Get Earth Shattering Money
While Dallas and Prescott have not been able to get to a deal yet, there is one NFL and FOX analyst who think Prescott will break the bank no matter where he goes. When appearing on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Fox Sports analyst Nick Wright revealed that Prescott’s new contract is going to be “earth shattering.”
The Cowboys seem unwilling to pay this money so it would not be crazy if Dak was playing for a new team that is willing to pay next season. Wright said there are many other teams that will be willing to pursue Dak for the money that he wants. Wright thinks the number could even get to $60 million a year!
“His next contract, whoever gives it to him, is going to be earth shattering,” Wright declared.
At the present moment, Joe Burrow is making the most money in the NFL and in the history of the league as well with a deal that is worth $55 million a year. Dak, who has never played a game deep into the playoffs will be set to make at least 10 percent more than any of the other quarterbacks.
While Dak is a clear winner in the regular season and has proved that he is a star quarterback in the NFL, it is obvious to anyone who watches that Dak is not a top 3 or even top 5 quarterback in the NFL. The professionalism and consistency that Prescott has displayed is what will earn him the most money of any player ever.
Prescott is on the cusp of becoming the all time leading passer for the Cowboys who have had some all time Hall of Fame quarterbacks in their history. The playoff disappointments of his career are what has withheld the Cowboys from paying him immediately. If Prescott can find a way to go on a very deep post season run this year, than the Cowboys will probably be the team to give him the huge contract.
If the Cowboys manage to embarrass themselves again in the post season, or even worse don’t make it, it will probably be time for owner Jerry Jones to go in a different direction for the future at quarterback for the team. But according to Wright, Dak will be getting his earth shattering money no matter what.
