"I love this game and love to play and love to
better myself as a player and my teammates around me. Right now
it's with the Dallas Cowboys, it's where I want to be, and
that's where I am, and that's the focus. And after the season
we'll see where we're at and if the future holds that. And if
not, we'll go from there."
Prescott, 30, is entering his ninth season and the final
campaign of a four-year, $160 million contract he signed in
2021. He holds a no-trade clause and a no franchise-tag
agreement.
Prescott's salary-cap figure in 2024 is $55.45 million, which is
the second-highest in the NFL behind Cleveland Browns
quarterback Deshaun Watson ($63.77 million).
Prescott said his primary interest isn't eclipsing Cincinnati's
Joe Burrow as the NFL's highest-paid quarterback. Burrow's
average salary is $55 million a year, while Prescott currently
pockets $40 million. Prescott ranks No. 10 in pay on the
quarterbacks list.
"No, I'm not trying to be the highest paid necessarily,"
Prescott said. "We'll wait until the negotiations begin and
obviously want to put this team in the best situation."
Prescott also was asked about the lawsuit he filed regarding an
alleged extortion claim made by a woman who said she was
sexually assaulted by him in 2017.
"I know the truth," he said. "I'm confident in what we filed.
Very confident in what we filed. I know some things have changed
in their sense in where they filed, but that doesn't have any
weighing on what we're doing and how we're going about our
lawsuit."
