People aren’t too impressed with Dak Prescott’s new deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
Shockwaves were sent through the NFL late Monday night when Prescott agreed to a four-year deal worth up to $160 million with the Cowboys. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

I asked people on Twitter if they thought the Cowboys had made a bad or good deal, and the results weren’t close. Of the 799 voters, 77.7% voted that it was a bad deal.
The Dallas Cowboys have given Dak Prescott a $160 million extension, according to @AdamSchefter.
He’ll get $126 million guaranteed. Is this a good deal or a bad deal for Dallas?

I wish I could say these results shock me, but they don’t. Not one bit, and I’m sure most of you reading this agree.
I think the Cowboys way overpaid for Prescott’s services. $126 million guaranteed over four years is outrageous.

He’s simply not worth that kind of money. The dude has won a single playoff game, and we’re now treating him like he’s Russell Wilson.

I have a feeling the Cowboys will look back at this deal and regret it at a high level. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m not holding my breath. I think the Cowboys got cooked on this one.
