Over the off season, it was reported that Dak turned down 30 mil a year. Russell Wilson is making 35 mil a year with his new contract. So, let's look at the stats
Dak Prescott

Dak's 106.0 looks great on the surface, but we all know this is misleading due to the first 2 games of the season, in the last 3 he hasn't put up anything all the impressive. The TD totals are higher than they were last year at this time, but so are his INTs. He has turned the ball over in every game but one this year.
Russell Wilson, however, is playing better than any QB in the league right now. After Mahomes performance last night, I think most would agree that Wilson is probably the front runner in the early MVP race. 12 TD passes, 0 INTs, top of the list in deep field accuracy, and made that throw to Lockett on Thursday that only a few QBs can make. Now, the argument here will be that Wilson has been in the league longer, that would be a valid point if Prescott wasn't asking for that MVP type money now.
Prescott may have ended up playing himself here and lost out on some cash. It's going to be very very tough for him to justify anything more than 30+ million after seeing the way Wilson is playing this year.
