Dak Prescott Becomes NFL’s Highest-Paid Player with Record-Breaking Contract

In a groundbreaking move just hours before the 2024 NFL season opener, Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, signed a historic four-year, $240 million contract extension. The deal, confirmed by Prescott’s agent, Todd France, includes $231 million in guaranteed money, making Prescott the highest-paid player in NFL history. This remarkable contract sets a new benchmark, as Prescott is now the first player to earn an impressive $60 million annually.

At 31, Prescott continues to cement his legacy as one of the league’s top quarterbacks. Last season, he led the NFL with 36 passing touchdowns, a feat no other Cowboys quarterback has ever achieved.
