CLEVELAND (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys gave Dak Prescott everything he wanted. He intends to pay them back in full.
Hours before the season opened, Prescott agreed to a $240 million, four-year contract with the Cowboys, making the quarterback the NFL's highest paid player while giving him a chance to win a Super Bowl for a team he loves.
“I wanted to be a Cowboy,” he said. “I wanted to stay a Cowboy and it got done.”
Prescott is the first in league history to average $60 million per season, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press on Sunday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't been announced.
