Spotrac founder Michael Ginnitti suggested the Cowboys offer Prescott a three-year. , a $175 million deal that includes the largest signing bonus in league history.This may be the best option for both parties. The QB would get the salary he wants and a shorter contract will encourage him to win his first Super Bowl before he leaves..
