He did okay.
The Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott have agreed on a four-year, $240 million contract extension that will make the star quarterback the highest-paid player in NFL history and keep him in a Cowboys uniform through the 2028 season, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Sunday.
The deal includes $231 million guaranteed, which is the most in league history. Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed deal with the Cleveland Browns was worth $230 million.
The $60 million average annual value of Prescott's contract is the highest in NFL history, easily surpassing recent deals worth $55 million in average annual value signed by Cincinnati's Joe Burrow, Green Bay's Jordan Love and Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence. Prescott also received a record $80 million signing bonus, passing Love's previous high of $75 million.

Genius move by Jerrah. A quarter billion dollars to a guy that's never won a thing.

That is just so wrong for so many reasons.

Obscene indeed

yet thats what the PGA paid Scottie Scheffler recently.

is why I flat-out refuse to buy a ticket to professional sports.
Obscene is putting it nicely.

is not the most deserving player to be the highest paid in the league. His agent snookered the Cowboys.
