This remarkable deal solidifies Prescott as the highest-paid player in NFL history, with an astounding $231 million guaranteed.

The negotiations between the Cowboys and Prescott had been a lengthy process, but ultimately resulted in a record-breaking contract. Prescott, who was set to enter the final year of his previous deal, will now earn a staggering $60 million per season. This lucrative agreement highlights the team's commitment to their franchise quarterback and their belief in his ability to lead them to success.

Selected as a fourth-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Prescott has spent his entire career with the Cowboys. Over his eight seasons in the league, he has accumulated an impressive 73-41 record, showcasing his ability to consistently lead his team to victories. However, his post-season performance has been less exceptional, with a record of 2-5.

Last season, Prescott had a standout year, achieving career highs in completions (410) and touchdowns (36). He compiled an impressive total of 4,516 passing yards and only threw nine interceptions. Additionally, he guided the Cowboys to a commendable 12-5 record, securing a berth in the playoffs. Unfortunately, their journey came to an end with a disappointing loss to the Green Bay Packers in the first round.

This monumental deal makes Prescott the second Cowboy to ink a new contract after prolonged negotiations this offseason. He now joins his top receiver CeeDee Lamb as key offensive players who have secured long-term deals, ensuring their presence in Dallas until 2028.

Looking ahead, the Cowboys and their newly minted highest-paid player will kick off their season against the Cleveland Browns in their Week 1 opener. With expectations set high, Prescott will aim to leverage his immense talent and financial commitment to steer his team towards a successful campaign.

As Dak Prescott officially becomes the highest-paid player in NFL history, the world of football watches with anticipation to see if he can lead the Cowboys to greater heights and justify the faith the team has placed in him with this historic contract.
