Cowboys QB Dak Prescott becomes highest-paid player in NFL history with new deal, per reports

Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys finally went all in this offseason by paying up for their franchise quarterback in historic – and atypical – fashion.

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys on Sunday agreed to a record four-year, $240 million deal, per multiple reports, making the passer the highest-paid player in NFL history. As the league's first $60 million per year player, Prescott leapfrogged the Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow, Jacksonville Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence and Green Bay Packers' Jordan Love, who all agreed to extensions with an average annual value of $55 million.

The agreement comes just one day before Dallas was set to begin its season against the Cleveland Browns.
