Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is expected to become one of the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks. Although the contract details are yet to be confirmed, Prescott will sign the contract during the offseason.
“He’s under contract now, but we’d like to do this after the season,” Cowboy’s vice president Stephen Jones said. “Once the season is over, we will focus on that. Dak will be our quarterback.”
Prescott is also reportedly due for a roster bonus worth $5 million. With a likely potential extension going through before the deadline, it seems almost certain that a deal between the Cowboys organization and Prescott will go through.
Prescott has been the starting quarterback for the Cowboys since 2016. During this season, he has helped the Cowboys to a 9-3 record. Prescott has a 70.1% completion rate and 3,234 yards and currently leads the NFL with 26 touchdowns. His performances have earned him the talk of potentially being the NFL MVP. He hopes to lead the Cowboys to their first Superbowl in almost 30 years.
