The Philadelphia Eagles reset the market for NFL franchise quarterbacks this week, inking Jalen Hurts<\/a><\/strong> on a five-year, $255 million extension on Monday. <\/p>\n

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers<\/a><\/strong> previously held the NFL\u2019s title for the highest average annual salary at $50.3 million but Hurts now takes over at $51 million.<\/p>\n

Hurts\u2019 new deal with the Eagles gives the NFC East three starting quarterbacks making $40 million or more per year. Like the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cowboys and Giants are also cutting large checks, meanwhile, the Commanders are still working out their long-term future at quarterback.<\/p>\n

Pressure up for Cowboys to extend Prescott<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0front office is considering an extension for Dak Prescott\u00a0this offseason and the heat just went up with Hurts\u2019 signing.<\/p>\n

The former Mississippi State Bulldogs star signed a four-year, $160 million in March of 2021. His current contract includes a 2024 cap hit of $59.5 million. When he signed his deal, it was the second-biggest, behind only\u00a0Patrick Mahomes<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Despite already negotiating a contract restructuring with the face of the franchise, team owner Jerry Jones told reporters two weeks ago that Dallas isn\u2019t in \u201cactive\u201d talks about an extension.<\/p>\n

Although the Dallas Cowboys have said they have to have \u201ca plan\u201d to extend Prescott, Jones said those talks\u00a0haven\u2019t begun yet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prescott hasn\u2019t divulged more than that in the last few weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201c100% I\u2019m excited to be a Dallas Cowboy, as I said, always dreamed I\u2019d be here,\u201d Prescott said,\u00a0via<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0Dallas Morning News<\/em>\u2018 Calvin Watkins. \u201cNow I\u2019m here, I don\u2019t expect to play for any other team. Now, it\u2019s just about winning.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust trying to get that done. To hear from the front office, as you said, looking forward to an extension. When the time comes, it\u2019ll happen. I\u2019m with Stephen on it, it may just happen overnight. But when it happens, it happens. It\u2019ll be great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heads of the Cowboys\u2019 front office have said on the record several times this offseason that they intend to keep Prescott around for\u00a0as long as possible<\/a>.<\/p>\n
