Yeah, I’ll go ahead and answer this one for Prescott. No, Dak Prescott is most certainly not worth $40 million a season.
Hell, he might not be worth $30 million a season. He’s not a superstar quarterback. Let’s stop pretending like he is.
Is he solid? Sure. Is he a concrete starter in the NFL? Absolutely. Should a team mortgage their future on him with a $40 million annual salary? Hell no.
The Cowboys would be making a gigantic mistake by forking over that kind of money. He’s not Russell Wilson or Patrick Mahomes.
He’s Dak Prescott. He’s an above average quarterback who needs weapons around him to win. Good luck getting him weapons if you hand him $40 million annually.
If this is Prescott’s asking price, then Jerry Jones needs to start looking for other options because he’s absolutely not worth it.
