Dak Prescott is ready to start a new season with the Dallas Cowboys. Now, just hours before Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns, the quarterback received a massive contract extension.

Although the star player delivered MVP numbers in 2023, Jerry Jones didn’t seem willing to make him the highest paid player in NFL history. That sparked a massive controversy.

During the last few days, Dak Prescott said he didn’t fear free agency trying to win a Super Bowl. Today, in a shocking turn of events, everything has suddenly changed.

Will Dak Prescott become a free agent?

Dak Prescott had all the leverage against Jerry Jones. If the Dallas Cowboys didn’t give him a contract extension soon, the quarterback would have become an unrestricted free agent in 2025.

Remember, Jones had no chance of using a franchise tag on Prescott and the player also kept a no trade clause in his current deal. Dak was absolutely on the driver’s seat.

Will the Dallas Cowboys give Dak Prescott a contract extension?

A few days ago, Dak Prescott seemed ready to test free agency by exposing Jerry Jones for his lack of action in the negotiations. “It shows just how people feel. I think it says a lot if it is or if it isn’t (new contract).”

However, just hours before the start of the season at Cleveland, the quarterback decided to stay in Dallas and win a Super Bowl. A sudden change of mind thanks to a historic four-year, $240 million contract extension.

“People change their feelings daily. I can’t say I have the same feelings that I had last week. That’s what motivates me on being here, honestly, is to be the quarterback that does it, that wins it (the Super Bowl). I don’t think that winning it any other place would be the same as winning it here. That’s A-No. 1 why I want to be here, to be honest with you.”
