It took some time, but the Cowboys and Dak Prescott have finally agreed on a long-term deal.
According to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, it’s a four-year deal worth $160 million($126 million guaranteed) and could go up to $164 million. Also, he gets a no-trade clause and no tag provision, according to Rapoport.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal includes a $66 million signing bonus and $75 million in year one, the most in NFL history.
After the Cowboys and Prescott could not come together on a long-term deal, the two-time Pro Bowler played under the franchise tag last season and made $31.4 million. In October against the Giants, the 27-year-old Prescott suffered a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle, which caused him to miss the rest of the season.
Prescott was Dallas’ best option at quarterback and gives them the best chance to win games next season. In reality, the Cowboys probably win the NFC East in 2020 if the five-year veteran was healthy. However, he has his money, and now he can focus on being the best quarterback he can be for the Cowboys going forward.
