The report doesn't put it the way the above headline does, but when considering the value of contracts at the time the contracts are signed, that's the clear implication. Via Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys have offered quarterback Dak Prescott a contract with an average value of million per year. Because Prescott currently has no contract, the so-called “new money” value of any deal he accepts will match the more practical assessment of a new contract: What that new contract is worth, from the moment it's signed.
