Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott became the highest-paid player in NFL history on Sunday after agreeing to a four-year, $240 million contract extension with $231 million guaranteed, multiple media outlets reported. The deal includes an $80 million signing bonus and runs through the 2028 season. The contract carries an average annual value of $60 million per season, which is $5 million more per campaign than Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals), Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars) and Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers). Word of Prescott's new deal came just hours before Dallas opened its season against the Cleveland Browns, and the Cowboys ended up cruising to a 33-17 victory.
