Dak Prescott’s New Nickname From Dallas Cowboys Has Fans Buzzing Ahead of NFL Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As tensions around the Dallas Cowboys franchise continue to grow, fans are hoping the team can end what has been a nearly 30-year Super Bowl drought.

It wasn’t like the Cowboys’ offense was bad under Mike McCarthy, the previous head coach/play caller. Last season, the Cowboys finished 17th in total offensive yards (5,567) and 25th in yards per play (5.0).

Last summer, Prescott went through his own contract negotiations with Jerry Jones and the Cowboys' front office. Ultimately, it resulted in him becoming the highest-paid player in league history with a $240 million contract. CeeDee Lamb, who held out of training camp in 2024, also got a mammoth four-year contract worth $136 million.
