The Dallas Cowboys are getting closer to landing star quarterback Dak Prescott in a big deal with two games left in the regular season.
The Cowboys may offer Prescott a salary in his next contract that would place him at the top of the league’s quarterback salary scale, if not higher, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
“He’s going to get between $55 and $60 million this Thursday,” Schultz said to FS1. Joe Burrow has already been shown to obtain the 55 number. There’s a chance Dak Prescott can reset it. Each side has a strong sense of motivation. Remember that he is subject to a no-trade and no-tag provision. He is in complete control. Dak, Dallas, and Jerry have a clear desire to complete that.
“He’ll do well in that course. Twenty-five touchdowns in the last eight games, including two interceptions. He is performing like the MVP. He could be the next big Super Bowl winner. Furthermore, he shares a sentence with Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach as a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Outstanding quarterbacks seldom become free agents. It is not going to occur.
With 3,892 passing yards this season, Prescott is ranked seventh among the league’s starters. In addition to having seven interceptions—nearly half as many as the other quarterbacks leading the league this season—he leads the league in touchdown passes with thirty. He finished the regular season with a career-high 15 interceptions the previous year. The Cowboys play the Lions at home and the Commanders away from home in their final two games on the schedule.
Jones: “Dak is at his best now.”
Even after losing for the second straight game, Jerry Jones had nothing but praise for Prescott this week.
According to Jones, “I believe Dak is at his best point in his career,” on 105.3 The Fan. “I believe you have a great chance to return home happy if your quarterback is playing this well as the NFL season approaches this point.”
The Cowboys will have to pay a total of $59.4 million above the limit for Prescott’s last year of his contract. His base salary is $29 million, and in March, he will receive a $5 million roster bonus. The Cowboys will spend $67.6 million on quarterbacks in the upcoming season, according to the DMN. An NFL high, that.
In addition to extending Prescott’s contract, the Cowboys will probably rework the last year of his agreement to free up cap room. They might also have to cut back on the number of free agents they sign this offseason and release players.
