Dak Prescott now NFL's highest-paid player at $60 million per year average over next four years

He did okay.

The Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott have agreed on a four-year, $240 million contract extension that will make the star quarterback the highest-paid player in NFL history and keep him in a Cowboys uniform through the 2028 season, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Sunday.

The deal includes $231 million guaranteed, which is the most in league history. Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed deal with the Cleveland Browns was worth $230 million.

The $60 million average annual value of Prescott's contract is the highest in NFL history, easily surpassing recent deals worth $55 million in average annual value signed by Cincinnati's Joe Burrow, Green Bay's Jordan Love and Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence. Prescott also received a record $80 million signing bonus, passing Love's previous high of $75 million.

1. We call that an obscene amount of money at my house.

That is just so wrong for so many reasons.

2. As soon as I read this I thought of what school teachers make in my village.

Obscene indeed

3. He is very good but he isn't worth 60 million and 231 million guaranteed.

4. I can't fathom $25 million for four days playing golf,

yet that’s what the PGA paid Scottie Scheffler recently.

5. And that, ladies and gents,

is why I flat-out refuse to buy a ticket to professional sports.

Obscene is putting it nicely.

6. That's why we need a 90% tax rate

7. Genius move by Jerrah. A quarter billion dollars to a guy that's never won a thing.

8. He definitely

is not the most deserving player to be the highest paid in the league. His agent snookered the Cowboys.

9. LOL at Jerruh.
