This deal would be record-breaking.
Dak Prescott has been one the most talked-about quarterbacks in the entire NFL this season even if his results haven’t been the best in the league. His Dallas Cowboys currently sit at a record 6-7 despite starting the season at a respectable 3-0. There was talk that Prescott could actually win NFL MVP although that’s probably out the window now considering how the rest the season has gone. Regardless, Prescott is due for a huge payday in 2020 and many are speculating about the money he could receive.
In a report from Jon Mochatta The Athletic, former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum spoke about Prescott’s situation and believes the QB could be in for a record-breaking deal. Tannenbaum says Prescott could even fetch upwards $400 million over ten years which would make for an average annual salary $40 million.

As right now, the highest-paid quarterback in the league is Russell Wilson although a $400 million deal would immediately put Prescott ahead Wilson in terms earnings. Realistically, it’s an incredibly bold claim although you can never put anything past Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones who has no problem when it comes to paying his star players.
Heading into the fseason, Prescott’s contract negotiations will certainly make for an entertaining NFL news cycle.
