Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer Leaves Fans Speechless as he Announced that QB Dak Prescott Has Been Made the..
In a jaw-dropping announcement that shook the NFL world, Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed today that quarterback Dak Prescott has been made the highest-paid player in franchise history.
The announcement came during a scheduled media session at The Star, where Schottenheimer took the podium with a calm demeanor — only to deliver what fans and analysts are calling one of the boldest contract moves in recent Cowboys history.
“Dak is not just our quarterback — he’s the face of this team, our leader, and the heart of this locker room,” Schottenheimer said. “He’s earned every bit of this, and today, we’re proud to say he’s the highest-paid player this storied franchise has ever seen.”
While the exact numbers are yet to be officially released, sources close to the organization suggest the deal surpasses $60 million annually in total compensation, eclipsing previous record-holder contracts and setting a new benchmark not just for the Cowboys, but possibly the NFL as a whole.
Prescott, 31, has been at the center of ongoing contract speculation for the past year, with fans split between those advocating for a long-term deal and others pushing for the team to look toward the future. But with this announcement, Schottenheimer and the Cowboys have made their stance crystal clear: Dak is their guy.
“This deal isn’t just about stats — it’s about belief,” Schottenheimer added. “We believe in Dak. We believe he can take us all the way.”
Prescott, flanked by his family and several teammates during the announcement, was visibly emotional.
“I’ve always dreamed of bringing a championship to this city,” Prescott said. “This team, this organization, this fan base — they stuck by me. I’m grateful, I’m humbled, and I’m more motivated than ever to deliver.”
The announcement sent social media into a frenzy, with #DakGetsPaid trending within minutes. Fans are divided, with many celebrating the team’s commitment to its veteran leader, while others question the long-term implications for the team’s salary cap.
As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on Prescott to see if he can justify the historic investment. But one thing’s certain: the Cowboys have gone all-in — and now, it’s Dak’s time to shine.
