NFL highest paid quarterbacks 2025 by value and salary

I typically love Jerry but I will never understand why he was willing to pay Dak $60m per year! Jerry held all of the cards and he folded…

It was also the first contract for Herbert and Lawrence. Every GM would have signed both of them at that time plus Herbert would/will have play off success if playing for a better team. Agree the Cowboys would have reached the NFC Championship if not the Superbowl with either Lawrence or Herbert. Some people under rate a couple of the Cowboy teams Prescott choked with and over rate genuinely bad teams Herbert and Lawrence have played with.

Not every GM would have signed Prescott to huge contracts twice...Once after part of his leg was detached and the other after several awful play off performances for a couple of Superbowl calibre teams.

Ahhhh.... there is the goalpost moving that we all know and love!!

Lawrence and Herbert has zero playoff wins between them (if I'm wrong i stand to be corrected) and there's no uproar about the max dollar contracts they got?? I love the excuses and passes you give to 1st round picked quarterbacks who YOU have admitted "had better tools" than Dak, a 4th round selected quarterback.

Lets think about that for a minute....

In what world do we hold a 4th round picked quarterback more accountable than 1st round picked quarterbacks with better tools? Please make that make sense....

But before you attempt to try to make that make sense.... REMEMBER!!!! Good quarterbacks elevate the teams around them!! Dak already won his first playoff game by this time in Herbert's and Lawrence's career......

I didn't even mention the guaranteed money Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are getting with zero Superbowl wins. Aren't they 1st round pick quarterbacks as well?

And of course the other end of the spectrum

One of Herbert and Lawrence has a playoff win as I recall their teams played each other in a playoff game. Your point is still a valid one.

Dallas is just wanting a team capable of making it possibly to the playoffs. Not interested in winning the super bowl. Dallas would have to pay more money for that to happen. Keep high profile players to roll in jersey money, i.e., Dak, CD, Micah
