Hours before the start of the season, the Dallas Cowboys agreed to a new contract with quarterback Dak Prescott. According to , Prescott’s new extension is for four years and will pay him $240 million. This will make him the highest-paid player in NFL history (I know, what else is new) and keep him in Dallas for the foreseeable future.

Dak Prescott’s New Deal Comes Shortly After the CeeDee Lamb Extension

Quarterb🐽ack Dak Prescott and the Cowboys have been discussing a contract extension all offseason, and they finally reached an agreement in the eleventh hour before the start of the regular season.

This deal makes Prescott the highest-paid player iಌn NFL history and resolves any uncertainties about his future𒁃 in Dallas that have been lingering for the past few years.

Recently, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb also secured a new deal with Dallas, leaving Micah Parsons as the next playe𓆉r in line for a new contract wi𓄧th the Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys and CeeDee Lamb  with a record-setting $36 million signing bonus before the start of the regular season. This makes Lamb the NFL’s second highest-paid wide receiver, behind Justin Jefferson. The Vikings and Jefferson agreed to a four-year, $140 million deal wi꧋th $110 million guaranteed in early June. Lamb was entering the fifth and final year of his rookie contrac♉t.

Despite initial remarks by ෴Cowboys♑ owner Jerry Jones about not feeling a sense of urgency, the deal was finalized, ensuring the presence of the top offensive playmaker for the team’s Week 1 game. Lamb’s consistent improvement over his previous four seasons has elevated him to the top wide receiver conversation in the NFL.

Last year, the three-time Pro Bowler and 2023 first-team All-Pro led the NFL ღin targets (181) and receptions (135). He finished second in the league, receiving yards (1,749) and touchdo⭕wns (12).

Dallas now has their sꦿtarting quarterback and his favorite target locked up.
