Finally the day arrived for Dak Prescott, the day which he was waiting for since a long time! Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys gave their quarterback “a four-year, $240 million contract extension ahead of Sunday’s regular-season opener against the Cleveland Browns.” This deal made Prescott the current highest paid player in NFL history. As a result, it ended an offseason of consternation for Jones and Prescott, who faced questions on his future with the team, with many saying, including SPEAK analyst James Jones, “I pray Dak Prescott gets out of Dallas because he is disrespected in Dallas, straight up.” However, all these speculations and prayers led to nothing, as the deal is done!

Now, soon after getting the new deal, Dak Prescott shared a heartwarming incident that has surely grabbed the eyeballs from the NFL world. He said, via Dallas reporter Calvin Watkins, “….the first person he [Prescott] hugged after agreeing to the new contract was Zeke Elliott. He said Zeke took care of him financially when they were rookies. Zeke would pay for dinners and stuff.” Hearing this emotional incident, one could easily tell that there is a strong bond between the two players, not only on-field but off-field too! Probably, that’s why Elliot admitted “It feels great to be home,” when he was offered by the American team.

This year, Jones brought in his team’s former star, running back Ezekiel Elliott on a one-year deal. With this move, he “reunited with the likes of Prescott and his former teammates after spending six years in Dallas.” Both of these players have racked up 13 regular season wins, with Elliot “carrying 1,626 for 7,263 yards, scoring 76 touchdowns in 87 games,” with the quarterback.

And now that owner Jerry Jones has gifted Prescott his close friend Elliot, these two, who embark on their nine NFL seasons, are the senior members of Dallas’ locker room. Furthermore, Prescott’s other valuable gift, the deal for four-years, has added cherry to the top for the QB. So, now with this deal, the Cowboys legacy seems to be getting back on line, as they have already started their 2024 season with a win.

Meanwhile, Dak Prescott isn’t the one who received a big gift from Jerry Jones. After his contract, his teammates too, are expecting some expensive gifts from the quarterback.

Shiny gifts after a shiny new contract?

Dak Prescott just signed a record-breaking four-year, $240 million contract, and his teammates are taking notice of it. After the Cowboys’ win over the Browns, Prescott, while talking to the media, joked that his teammates have been hinting they expect gifts. He expressed, “They’re expecting Rolexes. … Everybody’s giving me their wrist size.”

That’s hilarious, but it also reveals how much these teammates love Prescott to be back with the team. However, it isn’t sure whether he would give them Rolexes or not, the victory in the Week 1 game has definitely been a gift for Jerry Jones, the Cowboys squad and their fans.

During that matchup, Prescott played impressively by “completing 19 of 32 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown, with no interceptions.” His star receiver, CeeDee Lamb too, who recently signed his own $136 million deal, returned to action, grabbing “five passes for 61 yards.” Therefore, their combined action, along with their team’s efforts, the Cowboys got a huge win 33-17 on Sunday.

Nevertheless, with “a combined value of $376 million, Prescott and Lamb are now the most expensive quarterback-receiver duo in NFL history.” So, this means the pressure is on for them, including Ezekiel Elliott, as everyone will be asking them to deliver bigger performances in the season further.
