Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been lighting up the field in the 2023 season, and it seems like he's in line for a major payday. According to Jordan Schultz, there's a strong push from both Prescott and the Cowboys to finalize a contract extension that would catapult him into the upper echelon of NFL quarterbacks.
Schultz mentioned that the potential extension could see Prescott raking in "between $55 and $60 million," which would set a new standard in the quarterback market. Currently, Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow holds the record as the highest-paid quarterback at $55 million per year, but it looks like Prescott could sur that figure.
What's more, Prescott seems to have a strong hand in negotiations, as Schultz highlighted that he holds significant leverage with his no-trade and no-tag clauses in his current contract. This gives him a considerable advantage as he seeks to secure his future with the Cowboys.
As the regular season winds down, Prescott has been putting up impressive numbers, leading the league with 30 ing touchdowns and demonstrating exceptional ball security with just seven interceptions. This marks a stark improvement from last year when he led the league with 15 interceptions, showcasing his growth and development as a top-tier quarterback.
Dak has yet to win a big game in Playoffs
Despite Prescott's stellar performance, the Cowboys have hit a rough patch with consecutive losses to the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins. However, with a 10-5 record, they are still in the playoff mix, trailing the Philadelphia Eagles by just one game for the top spot in the NFC East.
Looking ahead, Prescott's ability to guide the Cowboys on a deep postseason run could further solidify his case for a lucrative extension. If he can lead Dallas to success in the playoffs, it would undoubtedly bolster his position in negotiations for the big-money deal he's eyeing.
With negotiations underway and the playoffs looming, all eyes will be on Prescott as he aims to lead the Cowboys to postseason glory and potentially seal his status as one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in NFL history.
