Dak Prescott is ‘absolutely’ worth a record deal, says Drew Pearson
TMZSports.com
Dak Prescott is now the highest-paid player in the NFL – more than 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 then TMZ Sports spoke to Drew about the record deal…he told us the QB deserves it all.
“Look at the quarterbacks in the league,” Pearson said. “Teams have a hard time finding good quarterbacks. They look at the depth chart to see who is available.”
Of course, there were haters all over social media who disagreed…pointing to Dak’s 2-5 playoff record as the main reason why he shouldn’t have gotten the big money.
However, Pearson said Prescott is exactly the kind of leader Dallas needs — compared to the 31-year-old Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman and even Tony Romo.
“He says the right things,” Pearson said, “and he says those things because he believes them.”
So far, the deal has looked pretty good…as Prescott played well in a 33-17 win over the Browns.
He doesn’t have to wait long to keep proving it – the Cowboys play the Saints at home next Sunday – and Drew says the offense needs to score a lot to get to 2-0.
As for the next big contract negotiations, Dallas will have to make do with a defensive superstar Micah Parsons …Pearson says he feels confident after that Jerry Jones got Prescott and CeeDee Lam‘The deals are done – Parsons’ won’t be far behind.
“He’ll get his,” Pearson said.
