Dak Prescott is getting paid by the Dallas Cowboys.
The star quarterback reached a four-year, $160 million deal to stay with the Cowboys on Monday, a source told Adam Schefter, putting to rest months of speculation about where he would end up in the 2021 season. The contract has $126 million in guaranteed money, and Prescott received a $66 million signing bonus, which would be the most in NFL history. Though he is coming off a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle from a Week 5 win, Prescott, who will turn 28 in July, has been predicted to make a full recovery.
Athletes from around the sports world sent congratulations to Prescott after hearing the news.

The Dak situation started to remind me whenever we let Demarco walk in 15... me personally I knew our chances of having a chance to win the super bowl was gone.. it wasn't the catch it was Demarco leaving the team which made me feel hopeless Smart decision @dallascowboys ....

I'm not a contract specialist but I feel like Dak got a much better deal than Mahomes 👀.
