Last year, Dak Prescott was with Ezekiel Elliott, his teammate and closest friend, and his physical therapist, Luke Miller, getting himself ready for the season opener against the Cleveland Browns as his agent, Todd France, FaceTimed him with the news: a four-year extension worth $240 million with $231 million guaranteed. “A little emotional call,” Prescott said about the development that made him the highest-paid player in the NFL.

“It works for everyone and understanding where this cap is going, just excited that it’s behind us and I can focus on winning games,” Prescott said. He kept his word. Less than an hour later, he was on the team bus to Huntington Bank Field and led the Cowboys to a 33-17 win against the Browns. With the contract, by the time Prescott plays out the deal in 2028, he could potentially make more than $400 million in his career. But he made clear on that day, the Super Bowl was his only target.

“It’s my only motivation. Hold up my part of this deal. Just deliver that. That’s my motivation. Right now it’s about celebrating this win tonight. Hell of a win with these guys, excited for this plane ride back with them, but then turning the page tomorrow, getting on to the Saints and taking it one game at a time. That is what is at the forefront of my mind. Not the money. It’s about holding up my end of the deal. And I want to do it here,” Prescott had said. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had also boasted that this was what they needed for a Super Bowl that remained elusive for 28 years. But, man proposes, god disposes!

One more Super Bowl is here. And the Cowboys are not there. The 82-year old owner is ‘shocked’. “I’ve always made some pretty serious risk in talent. We certainly can do that here… I wouldn’t have signed Dak Prescott, the highest-paid player in the NFL if now wasn’t when we wanted to win. This is a shocker to be here at this Super Bowl and not have the Cowboys here. I didn’t plan on that when I made that agreement,” Jones did not hold back. Well, Cowboys are not there. But isn’t Prescott still there? Albeit off the gridiron. And this time also some insane money-matters are involved in it.

Dak Prescott shared a video with his fiancée, Sarah, in which they were talking to an AI called Perplexity. And the highlight of it all was when Dak made the huge announcement in the video. “This Sunday, Perplexity is giving away a million dollars just for downloading the app and asking questions during the big game.”

Yes, you absolutely read it right—a million dollars just for downloading the app and asking questions during the Super Bowl. The company is not going to miss this opportunity to promote their brand. There might be some terms and conditions to it, but with a million dollars as the winning prize, who wouldn’t want to try it? And the video itself is very fun to watch.

The AI asked Dak Prescott, “Who is Dak Prescott’s favorite receiver to throw to?” and Dak didn’t take a second to answer, saying, “It is CeeDee Lamb.” Indeed, CeeDee was actually pretty amazing this season. He pocketed 1,194 receiving yards and got himself a seat in the top 10. So yeah, good choice, Dak. That wasn’t it—Perplexity even played a song and asked both Sarah and Dak Prescott to guess.

And the song was none other than Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar, who will be performing this Sunday during the halftime show. I know, pretty exciting, right? And the next song by Teddy Swims got Dak singing passionately. But the impressive part was when Sarah guessed a Taylor Swift song just from the very first second of the music. She’s probably a Swiftie. Everyone is looking forward to having a good time this Sunday, but some people are looking for something beyond.

Did Dak Prescott’s buddy Micah Parsons hint at an exit from the team?

The Super Bowl ring is a dream of every player out there in the NFL. But Micah Parsons and his team were far from it this season. Just because they are out of the playoffs doesn’t mean they aren’t locked in for the Eagles vs. Chiefs. And Micah is already playing favorites. In a recent appearance on the Up and Adams Show, he said, “Like I always say, coaching always beats talent. I’m not saying the Eagles aren’t a well-coached team, but it just so happens that the Chiefs win. They just find ways to win games, especially in close moments. Yeah, I want to see the three-peat.”

He cleared up two important things here. First, he’s rooting for Patrick Mahomes and Co. Second, he agrees with the fact that his team is full of elite players, but all they need is the right coach to guide them. Micah Parsons is coming to the end of his $17 million contract this year. Nobody knows what the future holds this offseason.

Maybe he’ll get a contract extension, or maybe he’ll find a new home somewhere else. But he said a pretty interesting thing, which can be taken as his feelings toward leaving the team and going somewhere else. In a recent episode of his show The Edge, Micah said, “In the next four or five years, once I hit that 30, and I’m not where I need to be, I’ll be in KC.”

We already know about his support for the Chiefs. Then comes this statement, which he said while laughing—are you thinking what we’re thinking? Only the Lord knows what’s going to happen, but we can bet it’ll be something fun to watch.
