In September 2024, Dak Prescott made NFL history with a four-year $240 million contract. His agent, Todd France, revealed insights from their negotiations, emphasizing the importance of contract structure over immediate guaranteed money. France advised Prescott to reject a $100 million offer, stressing the risks associated with long-term deals for a fourth-round pick. He walked Prescott through potential scenarios, ensuring he understood the ramifications. France noted that some players may impulsively accept lucrative offers, but Prescott demonstrated trust in the guidance he received, leading to a more favorable deal for his future.
"They wanted a five-year deal, we wanted a four-year deal... You have to look at all of the pieces... Obviously the media is getting bits and pieces and making it out like Dak's crazy."
"If you're telling a guy to turn down $100 million... we went through a brainstorm of every scenario that could possibly happen... he was comfortable with all that."
