Dallas Cowboys agree on 4-year, $160M contract with Dak Prescott

DALLAS, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to terms on a new contract with quarterback Dak Prescott, the team confirmed to ABC affiliate WFAA on Monday.

ESPN is reporting that the contract is four years for $160 million. The contract also means no franchise tag.

Prescott played on a $31.4 million franchise tag in 2020 before his season ended with a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle in Week 5.

Prescott suffered the injury during the third quarter of the Oct. 11, 2020 game against the New York Giants.

Before the gruesome injury, the 27-year-old Prescott had started every game since the beginning of his rookie year after replacing an injured Tony Romo during the 2016 preseason.

Prescott won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors while leading the Cowboys to the No. 1 seed in the NFC and two years later won his first playoff game while reaching his second Pro Bowl.
