Like many fans, NBA All-Star forward Kevin Durant has a lot of thoughts and views about the 2024 NFL season. Surprisingly, the Phoenix Suns star revealed he has picked Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott as his MVP pick.
The Dallas Cowboys have made headlines by signing Prescott to a groundbreaking four-year contract extension worth $240 million, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history. This deal, finalized just 90 minutes before the season opener against the Cleveland Browns, includes an impressive $231 million in guaranteed money and positions Prescott as the first player to average $60 million per year.
Prescott, who finished as the league’s MVP runner-up last season, led the NFL with a career-high 35 touchdown passes. However, his playoff performance has been scrutinized, particularly after a recent wildcard loss to the Green Bay Packers, which dropped his postseason record to 2-5.
As the Cowboys look to build on their Super Bowl aspirations, securing Prescott’s contract was crucial amid ongoing negotiations with key players, including wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and pass-rusher Micah Parsons. While Lamb has already signed a long-term extension, Parsons is anticipated to seek a significant contract of his own.
The Cowboys’ management, led by owner Jerry Jones, faced pressure to address contract concerns and avoid a potential rebuild. With Prescott’s deal now in place, the team can focus on the upcoming season, aiming to establish a strong foundation.

Despite his loyalty to the Commanders, Durant acknowledged Prescott’s impressive regular-season performance, including leading the NFL in touchdown passes. He noted that while he’s not a fan, Prescott’s skill and consistent play make him a strong contender for the MVP award this season.
Overall, the 2024 season represents a critical opportunity for the Cowboys to turn predictions into reality. Success will depend on their ability to execute strategies effectively, manage injuries, and improve overall performance across the board. The excitement surrounding the team reflects a renewed optimism as they aim for greatness.
