![]() ![]() Prescott and/or his agent, Todd France, need to take exception to the Cowboys recently trading a 2024 fourth-round pick to the 49ers for 2020 third overall pick Trey Lance without informing the quarterback before making the deal. There's another necessary ingredient besides Prescott returning to his previous form. His 104.2 passer rating and 4,449 passing yards were the second-best marks of his career. He posted career highs in completion percentage (68.8%) and touchdown passes (37). Prescott has to have a bounce-back year where he returns to his 2021 form, which was arguably the best season of his NFL career, for a fully guaranteed contract to become a possibility. He uncharacteristically led the NFL with a career-high 15 interceptions in 2022 despite missing five games early in the season with a fractured right thumb. Prescott isn't an obvious candidate since he is coming off a down year by his standards. How Prescott can earn NFL's next fully guaranteed contract He is in the third year of the four-year, $160 million deal averaging $40 million per year he signed in March 2021. There is a surprising candidate with potential circumstances who might resurrect the fully guaranteed contract: Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Jackson was the league's highest-paid player until the Chargers signed Justin Herbert to a five-year extension averaging $52.5 million per year at the start of training camp in late July. His $135 million fully guaranteed at signing is the second-most ever in an NFL contract. A couple of weeks later, Jackson signed a conventional five-year, $260 million contract with the Ravens averaging $52 million per year. Lamar Jackson made a valiant attempt, but Jalen Hurts signing a five-year extension averaging $51 million per year that isn't completely secure with the Eagles in April was the final nail in the coffin. Murray and Wilson's respective five-year extensions with the Cardinals and Broncos averaging $46.1 million and $49 million per year aren't fully guaranteed. Watson set the stage for other quarterbacks to push for fully guaranteed contracts.Īny momentum there could have been for additional fully guaranteed contracts stopped after Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson signed extensions in the following months. ![]() Nobody expected Deshaun Watson to get a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract averaging $46 million per year as a part of his trade from the Texans to the Browns in March 2022 considering the quarterback had four years worth $136 million remaining on the four-year extension he previously signed in September 2020. ![]()
