Dallas Cowboys must make Dak Prescott earn his big payday

Heading into the last year of his contract, quarterback Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys failed to agree upon a long-term deal. Reports have suggested the Cowboys offered $30 million per year but Prescott wanted $34 million. Despite the apparent disagreement between the two sides, Dak did not help his case, unless, of course, surface stats seduce Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

It was a contract year for Prescott, a chance to prove his worth for a big payday. On the surface, he seems to have done so. The gunslinger amassed 4,902 yards in 2019 with 30 touchdowns and 11 interceptions and a completion percentage of 65.
