No player in NFL history has ever had a larger contract than Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s four-year $260 million contract. How does Prescott’s new deal compare to the career earnings of other Cowboys greats at quarterback?
Pro Football Hall of Famer Troy Aikman is regarded as one of the NFL’s greatest all-time quarterbacks for his part in helping the Dallas Cowboys win three Super Bowls and earned $55,537,000 over a 12-year career for his efforts.
