During the contract talks last season, NFL Network reporter Jane Slater revealed that the Cowboys had offered the 27-year-old a package in the ballpark of Russell Wilson/Jared Goff-type money. Ultimately Cowboys played into Dak Prescott's demands, making him the second-highest-paid quarterback in the league in average salary. In the first three years of his deal, Prescott will earn an average of $42 million per year. The 27-year-old ranks only behind Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes in terms of yearly average salary, with the 25-year-old bagging $45 million per year from the Super Bowl finalists.

Prescott's yearly average exceeds that of Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers.  In his five seasons in the NFL, Prescott has earned $36 million according to Spotrac, which is less than what he is guaranteed to earn for the next four years. Prescott's salary-cap number for this season will be $22.2 million instead of the $37.7 million that would have come along with the franchise tag, a savings of $15.5 million against this season's cap, Schefter reported.
