Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is having a weird offseason, as it is reported that Jerry Jones will not be renegotiating his contract and probably will leave Dallas at the end of the 2024 NFL season, and also he was accused of sexual assault by a woman, who filed a police report for an incident that allegedly happened in 2017.

On Friday, Prescott attended the Texas Children’s Cancer Fund Gala and talked for the first time about the allegations. While the civil and criminal process is ongoing, the Cowboys QB seemed confident in himself, as he told Jon Machota of The Athletic.

I know the truth. I’m confident in what we filed. Very confident in what we filed. I know some things have changed in their sense in where they filed, but that doesn’t have any weighing on what we’re doing and how we’re going about our lawsuit.

He also said that this situation, in particular, has nothing to do with his uncertainty regarding his contract with the Dallas Cowboys, asserting that they’re separate issues.

WIll Prescott grab the bag again?

Prescott’s fine form in 2023 earned him Most Valuable Player shouts as he threw for 4516 yards with a 69.5% completion rate for 36 touchdowns, whilst his interceptions remained at nine and he was never sacked more than 40 times, as he became the Cowboys’ star of the season at the AT&T Stadium.

But now into his third decade of life, this could be his final big contract and he’s currently not broke earning a cool, guaranteed $160 million on his current four-year deal, but he won’t go chasing the money unlike some other people might decide to do.

Dak Prescott’s message to the Dallas Cowboys brings him closer to new contract soon

Dak Prescott looks beyond money for his next NFL contract, perhaps suggesting that he wants to remain in Arlington with the Dallas Cowboys, as he insists that being the sport’s highest-paid quarterback isn’t close to being on his agenda.

The 30-year-old’s current deal is up in 2025 and although he hasn’t began negotiating a new deal that’s certainly something that will catch the eye of any dollar-pinching franchise owners in the top level of American Football.

“I’m not trying to be the highest-paid, necessarily,” Prescott said, as per Michael Gehlken. “We’ll wait until negotiations begin, and obviously want to put this team in the best situation.

“I don’t fear either situation, to be candid with you. I love this game and love to play and love to better myself as a player, and my teammates around me.

“Right now it’s with the Dallas Cowboys. It’s where I want to be and it’s where I am and it’s the focus. After the season, we’ll see where we’re at. If the future holds that, yeah, and if not, we’ll go from there.”

But now into his third decade of life, this could be his final big contract and he’s currently not broke earning a cool, guaranteed $160,000,000 on his current four-year deal, but he won’t go chasing the money unlike some other people might decide to do.

Who is the NFL’s highest paid player?

According to APY, Joe Burrow is the highest paid player and the highest paid quarterback in the NFL after signing a $275,000,000 deal with the Cincinnati Bengals to edge out Patrick Mahomes as the richest player in the game.

Burrow‘s five-year deal in Ohio averages out at $55,000,000 per year whilst Mahomes earns $46,000,000 per year, although the Kansas City Chiefs star is on a deal twice the length of what Burrow is on.
