NFL Agent Suggests Shocking Dak Prescott Value After Jordan Love, Tua Tagovailoa Deals
As Jones and the Cowboys stood by while Jared Goff, Trevor Lawrence, Tagovailoa, and Love in succession signed deals that reset the market at the most expensive— and most important position in the NFL— Prescott, 31, is currently scheduled to play out the final year of a four-year deal worth $160 million.
While Prescott waits for the Cowboys to potentially extend his deal or for the opportunity to become an unrestricted free agent this fall, the following is a summary of the four contracts he signed:
Jared Goff, Detroit Lions: Four years, $212 Million, $170 Million Guaranteed
💥 MASSIVE NEWS 💥 The #Packers have made QB Jordan Love the highest paid QB in history by giving him a four-year extension worth $220M, making him the highest paid QB in NFL history. (via @RapSheet) Dak Prescott now waits to take over that spot. #NFL #TrainingCamp #Contract pic.twitter.com/M5YToHqjz8

Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars: $142 million at signing, $275 million over five years Miami Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa:
Five Years, $235.2 Million, $167 Million Assured Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers:
$220 million over four years, $160 million assured Prescott has the potential to dramatically reset the quarterback market given his output, durability, and failure to get past the NFC Divisional playoffs.
NFL Agent Projects Dak Prescott’s Value
While Patrick Mahomes’ $450 million, ten-year contract looks like a thing of the past and is no longer the standard for quarterback deals, an agent believes Prescott may outbid the contracts signed by less successful signal callers in recent months.
A well-known NFL agent recently informed me, “He is much more proven and accomplished than the quarterbacks you’re seeing signed this offseason.” “I believe his worth to be at least $57–60 million a season.”
While there’s always a potential that Jones and the Cowboys let Prescott finish out his current contract, at least one league source tells me there’s “no chance” that’s how this ends up working out.
Before the season starts, the Cowboys would be better off coming to an agreement with Prescott because Jones might require an extra Brinks Truck or two if Prescott leads Dallas to a deep postseason run and possibly a Super Bowl appearance.
A second agent with knowledge of the quarterback market told me, “You really have to wonder what a quarterback’s value is at this point.
In some way, this whole thing feels like next-man up. Neither Love nor Tua have the games or starts under their belts, but they signed top-market deals because of their productivity in a quarterback-needy league.”
