This is the best formula or comparison in coming up with projecting Dak's new deal that could be happening very soon.
I'll use Russel Wilson as the example because they had very similar stats over the first 3 years of their career. Wilson was more successful in most areas but Dak was fairly close (obviously minus a Superbowl win).
In 2015, Russell Wilson signed a 4 year extension for $87.6 million and 61.53 million guaranteed.
The total salary cap for a team to spend that year was $143.28 million.
So the total contract was about 61% of the salary cap and the guaranteed money was 43%.
This year, teams have a total of $194 million to spend. So using those percentages from Wilson's first extension we get 4 years $118.34 million and $83.42 guaranteed as the absolute max. If his deal is more than this, Dallas overpaid.
I would say that is at the very top of Prescott's range. However, since he has not led the team to a superbowl, I see his actual value being less than that.
If he can be extended for 4 years for $110 million and 77 million guaranteed, Dallas and Dak both got a fair deal, in my opinion. This is the ball park I'm hoping for.
