Dak Prescott is now the highest-paid player in the NFL — over guys like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Josh Allen — and according to Dallas Cowboys legend Drew Pearson … the QB is worth every penny.
The star signal-caller agreed to a four-year, $240 million contract extension on Sunday morning — just before Dallas took on Cleveland in its season-opener — and when TMZ Sports talked with Drew about the record-setting deal … he told us the QB is deserving of it all.
“Look at the quarterbacks around the league,” Pearson said. Pearson said: “Look at the quarterbacks around the league.” They are looking at the depth chart and see who is available. He should not have received the big money. 1 reason he shouldn’t have gotten the big money.
However, Pearson said Prescott’s exactly the kind of leader Dallas needs — comparing the 31-year-old to
Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman and even Tony Romo.“He says all the right things,” Pearson said, “and he says those things because he believes it. “
So far, the deal’s looked pretty good … as Prescott played well in a 33-17 blowout win over the Browns.
He won’t have to wait long to keep proving it — the Cowboys play next this Sunday at home against the Saints — and Drew says the offense is going to have to score a bunch to get to 2-0.
As for the next big contract negotiation Dallas will have to get through with defensive superstar
Micah Parsons … Pearson says he’s confident that after Jerry Jones got Prescott and CeeDee Lamb‘s deals done — Parsons’ won’t be far behind.“He’ll get his,” Pearson said.
