NFL media is sounding off after Dak Prescott signed a four-year $240 million contract on Sunday before his Dallas Cowboys face off with the Cleveland Browns in their season-opener.

ESPN pundit and former New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan praised the deal.

“For the future, they absolutely, the Dallas Cowboys made the right move. Dak Prescott is one of the best quarterbacks in the league,” said Ryan.

Ryan said Prescott was an exceptional leader who is over criticized by the media.

“The thing I like most about it, I think he is the best leader in the National Football League. He puts it all on himself to the point where he gets criticized by pundits everywhere who don’t know anything,” said Ryan “He makes it easier for his teammates and everybody else.”

Prescott will lead the Cowboys in their season opener against the Cleveland Browns at 3:25 p.m. on Sunday at Huntington Bank Field.

Trevor Lawrence is making $55 million with a losing 20-30 record and 1 playoff win. Justin Herbert is making the same with a losing 30-32 record and 0 playoff wins. Tua has a 34-19 record with 0 playoff wins and is making $53 million. Lamar is making $53 million with a 58-19 record and 2 playoff wins. Deshaun Watson has a record of 32-30 with 1 playoff win and is making $230 million FULLY GUARANTEED. Dak has a 73-41 record and 2 playoff wins. If those guys are worth what they are making with worse (or same, in Lamar's case) playoff records and, for some, worse regular season records, then I guess Dak should be worth more than the $55 million they are making. It's insane, but it's just the current market for the NFL. I mean, you've got receivers making $35 million.
