Dak Prescott led one the best fenses in the NFL last year, despite his Dallas Cowboys not making the playfs. Thanks to his efforts out on the field, Prescott is expected to get a huge payday that will certainly flip the league on its head. For now, there are talks that Prescott could be franchise tagged if contract negotiations aren’t resolved soon. Meanwhile, it appears as though he is looking to be paid like Russell Wilson who makes $35 million per year.

In a recent report, it was revealed that the Cowboys fered Prescott $33 million per year, earlier in the season. Eventually, he upped his asking price and negotiations stalled. Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones says the Cowboys are hoping to pay Prescott like a top 5 QB in the league.

Per Clarence E. Hill Jr. the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

The two sides came close to deal in September on a contract that would have paid him roughly $33 million annually, sources said, before talks broke down when Prescott upped his asking price.

“I don’t want to get into the details, but we have fered him significant money,” Jones said. “The money we have fered Dak no matter how you look at it would put him as a top five quarterback in the NFL. That is the way we feel about him. He is one the best.”
