Dak Prescott could get his franchise quarterback payday next offseason

2018 isn’t technically a contract year for Dak Prescott, but it might as well be.
The Cowboys franchise quarterback is eligible for an extension after this season, his third year as spelled out by the CBA, and as a franchise quarterback he’s likely going to command a fair chunk of cheese.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan just became the highest-paid player in the NFL after signing a five-year, $150M deal. Soon enough, Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers will top him. It’s just the way quarterbacks work in the NFL.
It’s hard to imagine a world next spring where Dak Prescott is given a deal larger than the deal Aaron Rogers’ will receive.
