News: Dak performance-based pay highest among Cowboys this year

[Risen Star]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott's sensational rookie season just got a little better.

Because he surprisingly started every game in 2016, after coming to the team as a fourth-round project before having one of the finest rookie seasons of any quarterback in NFL history, Prescott earned an extra $355,544.57 via the league's performance based pay bonus system, per a source.

Sellout

 

[SDCowboy]

Good for him. He certainly definitely earned it.

 

[DCBoysfan]

That's a nice chunk of change.

 

[DakotaReign]

Deserves a whole lot more than that to be honest.

@MichaelWinicki, close it.

Tony Romo pocketed an extra 64 bucks for one series

Tony Romo played a single series for the Dallas Cowboys last season in his capacity as the most famous understudy in America.

If you follow the game closely, that possession was fairly memorable. In a Week 17 cameo against the Eagles, Romo led the Cowboys to seven points, finishing the drive 3-of-4 passing for 29 yards and a TD. He also threw a deep ball intended for Dez Bryant that led to a pass interference penalty. Success!

Romo was put back in packing peanuts after the possession, never to be seen again. In the end, Romo played 0.47 percent of the Cowboys' snaps in 2016. For that, he earned a cool $64.11 through the league's performance-based pay system. Don't spend it all in one place, Antonio.

He deserves it.

The lowest paid Cowboy on the league's performance based pay bonus system was, coincidentally, Tony Romo, who earned an extra $64.11 for his series against the Eagles.

Does that Romo money go against our cap? What if we trade him?

 

[gimmesix]

Dallas needs to use this as a slogan to lure in free agents: We won't pay you as much as other teams, but you'll get a nice performance-based bonus.

 

[CATCH17]

He derserves every dime of it.

I still can't believe how poised he was as a Rook.

Sellout

Yeah...Risen's not fooling anyone. It's clear that he loves the Dak.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Anybody know how much bonus money Wentz earned?

 

[JJHLH1]

Glad to see the greatest rookie QB of all time is getting a little something extra for his efforts.

 

[Proof]

Yeah...Risen's not fooling anyone. It's clear that he loves the Dak.

2nd overall picks don't get league welfare.

Seriously though, nothing goes towards the cap. In fact, Prescott demanded a cashier's check from Stephen, just to cause an inconvenience.
