Report: Cowboys offer Prescott $33M-$35M per year with over $100M guaranteed
As the deadline to reach a long-term deal approaches, the Dallas Cowboys have made their final offer to quarterback Dak Prescott.
The Cowboys have offered Prescott a deal that would pay him $33 million to $35 million annually with more than $100 million guaranteed, NFL Network's Jane Slater reports.
Such figures would place the 26-year-old in the same range as Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger, and Jared Goff in terms of annual earnings; they own the second-, third-, and fourth-highest yearly salaries among NFL quarterbacks, respectively.
Talks between Prescott's camp and the Cowboys have reportedly stalled. The total money guaranteed could be an issue in negotiations.
Let’s assume this is 5 years, $175M, with $110M guaranteed. That’s <63% of the deal GTD, a figure considerably lower than Goff, Wentz, Ryan, Stafford, Tannehill. Also, if he were to take on back to back to back franchise tags...
