The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly working on making Dak Prescott the highest paid player in the NFL.
According to Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz, the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott are ‘highly motivated’ to get a deal done.
Dak Prescott’s been lights out all season in Dallas!
Both he and the #Cowboys are highly motivated to secure a long-term extension this offseason that I’m told will make Dak one of – if not the – highest-paid NFL QB.

Per the report, Prescott could be making in the range of $55 million to $60 million annually if he and the Cowboys can agree to terms. If the deal were to get done in the $55 to $60 million annually range, Prescott would be either tied with Cincinnati Bengals QB, Joe Burrow ($55 mil.) or in the sole lead when it comes to annual salaries. However, it’s unlikely that 30-year old will exceed Kansas City Chiefs QB and former two-time league MVP, Patrick Mahomes’ $450 million total value (over 10-years).
Dak Prescott’s Huge 2023 Season
Following his injury riddled and up-and-down 2022 campaign, Dak Prescott has bounced back in a very big way in 2023 as the former Mississippi State QB currently sits with the fifth-best MVP odds with just two weeks to go in the regular season. The veteran signal caller has completed over 68% of his passes, while throwing for 3,892 yards, and tossing 30 touchdown passes to go along with another two scores on the ground.
