Dak Prescott agrees four-year deal worth $160m with Dallas Cowboys; quarterback will have no-trade clause and earn $126m guaranteed; New York Jets place franchise tag on safety Marcus Maye, while Washington tag guard Brandon Scherff.
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys have finally agreed to a long-term deal, with the quarterback set to sign a four-year contract worth $160m, according to multiple reports in the US.
Prescott has $126m guaranteed and will earn an average of $42m per season over the first three years. The 27-year-old will also receive a $66m signing bonus and could see his deal rise to $164m overall with incentives.
Prescott – who has a no-trade clause as part of his new contract – had been searching for a long-term deal with the Cowboys for several seasons and played under the franchise tag in 2020.
Dallas drafted him out of Mississippi State in the fourth round in 2016, with the plan being for Prescott to back-up long-term No 1 quarterback Tony Romo.
However, with Romo injured ahead of the 2016 season, Prescott was named the starter and has held the job ever since.
He has passed for 17,634 yards with 106 touchdowns and 40 interceptions over five seasons with the Cowboys and 69 games (all starts) and was named to the Pro Bowl in his rookie season and 2018.
Prescott started the 2020 season in brilliant form but suffered a serious ankle injury against the New York Giants in Week 5 which ruled him out of the rest of the campaign.
