Michael Irvin asks Cowboys to pay Dak Prescott after 'stealing years' from QB

In a recent interview with Dallas Morning News, Cowboys legend Michael Irvin claimed that the franchise needs to pay Prescott for years of being underpaid in the NFL. Michael Irvin was quoted as saying, “Dak has been not great, but perfect. Not necessarily in wins and losses, of course. But I’m talking about just the person that he’s been. The kind of investment you want to make, the kind of guy you say ‘yeah, we hit it with this guy. We got him in the fourth round.’ You stole four years, so whatever he gets he deserves because you still owe him back pay.” The Cowboys Hall of Famer said that Dak Prescott has been brilliant for the Cowboys over the last four seasons with some impressive displays, especially at the start of last season.

As per his initial contract, Dak Prescott has made less than $5 million during his four-year stay with the Cowboys. Signed as a rookie in 2016, Prescott found himself leading the offence for Dallas when Cowboys great Tony Romo picked up an injury. If Dak Prescott and the Cowboys fail to agree on a long-term contract, he will earn $31.4 million on the franchise tag for the 2020 season.
