This locks in both Prescott and WR CeeDee Lamb onto the Cowboys for the long term.
The Cowboys paid the price of waiting to sign Prescott to the extension, having to one-up the deal Love and the Packers made a few weeks ago.
Prescott had a career season last year with the Cowboys being fourth in the league in passing over expected. The offense should continue to run through Prescott this year and beyond.
Expect the offense to continue rolling through Prescott and the pass along with Lamb for the next few years, locking both as solid fantasy starters moving forward.
