FRISCO, Texas — When the Dallas Cowboys signed quarterback Dak Prescott to a four-year, $160 million contract last March, there was much conjecture and lamenting about the timing of the deal.
It was the second richest deal in NFL history behind Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at the time while making Prescott the richest player in franchise history.
But if the Cowboys had shown the foresight to get Prescott signed a couple of years earlier, before the quarterback contracts exploded, they might have gotten him at a much friendlier price.
