Prescott took over as the Cowboys' starting quarterback in 2016 when Tony Romo went down with an injury. He immediately impressed, leading the team to the playoffs that year and establishing himself as a rising star in the league.
Prescott's consistently strong performances have made him a fan favorite and a key part of the Cowboys' success. He set a record for the highest signing bonus in NFL history when he signed his previous contract extension in 2021.
The Cowboys' decision to extend Prescott's contract is a clear indication of their faith in his abilities. The team has consistently stated their belief that Prescott is the future of the franchise.
"Dak is a special player and a great leader for our team," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "We are thrilled to have him locked up for the next four years."
With his new contract in place, Prescott is now set to lead the Cowboys for at least the next four seasons. The quarterback is looking to build on his impressive resume, which includes a Pro Bowl selection, an NFL passing yards record, and a runner-up finish for NFL MVP in 2022.
As the Cowboys aim to contend for a Super Bowl title, Prescott will be a pivotal figure in their quest. His experience, leadership, and playmaking abilities will be crucial to the team's success.
