After agreeing to a new deal, Dak Prescott stated that he wants to retire with the Cowboys….

Though the two-time Pro Bowler doesn’t expect to play for the Dallas Cowboys much longer than his current four-year, $160 million contract, he does not see himself leaving the team before he hangs up his cleats.

Prescott told reporters during a news conference to announce the signing on Wednesday that “this is the correct fit.” “After I put on the star, I never in a million years thought I wouldn’t be a cowboy. I’m happy to be here and never go. I’m not leaving; this is only the beginning. This is my home.”

“I’m ready to offer this organization all that they invested in,” Prescott continued.

Owner of the Cowboys, Jerry Jones, described how the 27-year-old has always been the focal point of the offense for the organization.

Jones remarked, “We’ve definitely stated from the outset that our future is with Dak.” We understand full well that the process has taken on a life of its own and generated a dialogue. That should not be confused with our opinion on the decision’s correctness. This works.”

Following a horrific ankle injury that limited him to just five games in 2020, Prescott gave an update on his recuperation.

He said, “I’m getting close.” “I’m healthier than before and more prepared than I was before,” the speaker said.

Prescott continued by saying that, having signed a one-year franchise tender in the summer, he didn’t start to worry about how the injury would affect his prospective earnings.

Many saw Prescott’s deal as a win-win situation.

In addition to receiving $126 million in guaranteed money, Spotrac reports that his $40 million average yearly compensation is the second highest in the league, trailing only Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ $45 million. When he is 32, the seasoned signal-caller will be eligible to rejoin the open market, which may result in yet another large payoff.

On the other hand, the Cowboys are holding onto a quarterback who passed for 4,902 yards in 2019 and was on track to surpass that total in 2020 (averaging 371.2 yards per game). Additionally, Dallas extended Prescott’s contract by two voidable years in 2025 and 2026, lowering his cap charge.

The two sides will soon have to do the same song and dance that they did throughout the offseason. They’re probably both relieved that, for the time being, things have been resolved.
