BREAKING: Dak Prescott makes honest admission about contract talks, lawsuit
Dak Prescott, the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, discussed his contract negotiations, the possibility of playing for another team, and a legal matter at a charity event. “I don’t have any concerns about staying or leaving,” Prescott stated at the Children’s Cancer Fund Gala, according to The Athletic.
“I love this sport, and I’m committed to improving myself and my teammates. Currently, I’m with the Cowboys, and that’s where my focus lies. After the season, we’ll evaluate where we stand.”Prescott, 30, is entering his ninth season and the final year of a four-year, $160 million contract he signed in 2021. He has a no-trade clause and a no franchise-tag agreement.
Prescott’s salary cap figure for 2024 is $55.45 million, which is the second-highest in the NFL behind Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson ($63.77 million).Prescott clarified that his priority is not to surpass Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow as the NFL’s highest-paid quarterback, whose average salary is $55 million per year, while Prescott currently earns $40 million. Prescott ranks tenth in pay among quarterbacks. “No, I don’t aim to be the highest-paid player,” Prescott stated. “Once negotiations begin, our goal is to put the team in the best possible position.”
Prescott was questioned about the legal action he initiated concerning an alleged extortion accusation made by a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted by him in 2017. “I am aware of the facts,” he stated.
“I have full confidence in our legal filing. I am very certain about our claims. While there have been some alterations in their approach to the case, it does not impact our course of action or the way we are handling the lawsuit.”
