Why Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has earned a big payday

FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys have made it clear Dak Prescott is their franchise quarterback.

By the time they open training camp in July in Oxnard, California, a few days before Prescott turns 26, the Cowboys hope to have a long-term extension with their QB that sets franchise records, including the highest per-year average salary as well as the most in guaranteed money.

Prescott's list of accomplishments in his first three seasons includes a 32-16 record -- only New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has won more games since 2016 -- and two trips to the playoffs.
