No player in NFL history has ever had a larger contract than Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s four-year $260 million contract. How does Prescott’s new deal compare to the career earnings of other Cowboys greats at quarterback?

Pro Football Hall of Famer Troy Aikman is regarded as one of the NFL’s greatest all-time quarterbacks for his part in helping the Dallas Cowboys win three Super Bowls and earned $55,537,000 over a 12-year career for his efforts.

For perspective, Prescott will earn $60 million per year on his new contract and Aikman now earns $18 million per year as a broadcaster for ESPN.

What about the quarterback Prescott replaced?

Tony Romo played 14 seasons with the Cowboys and earned $127,422,458 million over his career.

Drew Bledsoe played the last two seasons of his career in Dallas after stops in New England and Buffalo, making $80,056,250 million during his playing days.

Vinny Testaverde only played one season with the Cowboys after spending most of his career with the New York Jets and made $51,055,585 million during his career.
