Jimmy Johnson criticizes Cowboys for Dak Prescott's $240 million contract extension

Jimmy Johnson criticized the Dallas Cowboys' decision to extend quarterback Dak Prescott's contract for four years and $240 million. He argued that the team is financially strained and should have let Prescott play out his existing deal. Prescott, who has been with the Cowboys since 2016, signed the extension just before the season began. He has struggled this season, throwing 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions before suffering a season-ending injury. In addition to Prescott's contract, the Cowboys also extended wide receiver CeeDee Lamb for four years at $136 million. Coach Mike McCarthy's future remains uncertain as he is on an expiring contract, with no extension announced.
