Dak Prescott reportedly turns down $30 million/yr contract offer from Cowboys

[True Dough]

Remember, this is while Ezekiel Elliott is sitting out due to a demand for more money. Jerry Jones is gonna blow a gasket!

A $30-million contract sat on the table for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and he reportedly opted to decline. The deal would have placed his salary level with Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan.

The Cowboys can ill-afford to watch the player many have dubbed as their franchise quarterback walk next season. In addition, the negotiations could potentially start to get tougher at this point. Prescott is obviously asking for a massive deal which would make him one of the highest, if not the highest-paid quarterback.

There were rumblings earlier in training camp that the Cowboys had extended “generous” offers Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and Amari Cooper. But regardless of how generous those offers were, none have accepted them to this point.

Prescott is on his rookie deal and is set to make just over $2 million this season. He could become an unrestricted free agent after this year.

1. what the hell does he want? it is over $1.5M per game. to play ball.

he would not be backup on many nfl teams, but maybe someone will make a better offer.

2. That's gotta be his agent trying to up his take. WTH is wrong with 30m a year?

3. Prescott....good QB..but turning down $30m...he must think he is great, in the eyes of Dak Prescott

I guess....playoff Jan.2019..oops..LA RAMS win..spoken by a true Patriots fan..sorry..couldn't resist..don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching Prescott..but I also think Mayfield and Mahomes are better..and, if Garoppolo is mentally and physically ready - he should be another one to watch...just sayin'

$30 million dollars..and he turned it down...

5. How many years? How much guaranteed money?

There's more to contracts than straight dollar amounts.

You know the Cowboys leaked this story to change the narrative...and it's working.

6. The Eagles haven't made this easy...

When they signed Carson Wentz to a record four-year extension in June:
