SKY NEWS: Dallas Cowboys dealing with a $60 million question concerning Dak Prescott.

Following their brutal playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers, the Dallas Cowboys will have to deal with Dak Prescott’s contract in the offseason. The fact remains that the team will need to shell out about $60 million annually in order to retain their quarterback.

The largest contract extension for a quarterback in the NFL will be overtaken by Prescott’s $60 million annual salary if the Cowboys sign him. s $275 million contract extension with the Cincinnati Bengals expired after five years.

That estimated sum makes sense, particularly for a quarterback with Prescott’s caliber of play. The Cowboys star gained 36 touchdowns, nine interceptions, and 4,516 yards of total yardage just last season. Prescott led Dallas, which finished the regular season with a 12-6 record.

Prescott threw for over 400 yards against Green Bay in the playoffs, despite the Cowboys’ loss. Putting aside his criticism of his performance against the Packers, the quarterback became a stronger Dallas leader by accepting responsibility for the defeat.

Right now, Prescott’s $59.4 million contract is extended through the end of 2024. Given his play in the previous season, he stands a good chance of receiving a larger contract in a new deal.

Dallas Cowboys To Face Dak Prescott’s Possible $60 Million Contract Next Season

During the offseason, one of the more fascinating subjects is undoubtedly Prescott’s circumstances. Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz examines the Cowboy’s situation and outlines potential outcomes:

“It was Dak Prescott’s finest season to date. Nevertheless, Dallas is still obligated to pay Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb, and, most likely, Dak Prescott. As I’ve stated publicly, I think Dak Prescott will earn about $60 million a year, which might make him the highest-paid quarterback in football,” Schultz stated.

The landscape for quarterbacks and their value in the NFL will undoubtedly change if Prescott wins this case. The Cowboys’ plans for the upcoming season are still unknown, as is their desire to keep their standout quarterback.
