Dak Prescott’s biggest fan, his girlfriend Sarah Jane Ramos, couldn’t be prouder of the Cowboys’ star quarterback after he inked a monumental $240 million deal, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history. Just hours after Dallas sealed the four-year extension on Sunday, Ramos took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message about her partner’s incredible achievement.
“The most deserving man and the best partner and father. We love you,” Ramos wrote, posting the message alongside a photo of Prescott in his Cowboys uniform. The couple, who started dating in 2023, recently welcomed their daughter, Margaret Jane Rose, in February, making this moment all the more special as Prescott continues to succeed both on and off the field.
Heading into the 2024 season, one of the biggest questions surrounding the Cowboys was whether they would lock Prescott into a long-term contract extension. The 31-year-old quarterback, who has been a staple in Dallas since being drafted in the fourth round out of Mississippi State in 2016, had repeatedly expressed that his motivation for playing wasn’t driven by money but by his passion for the game.
“I don’t play for money,” Prescott said in May, addressing speculation about his contract talks. “I’ve played the game for the pure love for the guys in that locker room. This game brings me a peace that not a lot of things in life do—just being out there in between the lines with people you share a brotherhood with. There’s something special about this game of football. We’re blessed that money comes with it, but that’s not the reason I play.”

Despite Prescott’s focus on the team and the game, the Cowboys came through with a jaw-dropping contract extension ahead of the season opener against the Cleveland Browns. The deal includes $231 million in guaranteed money and a staggering $80 million signing bonus. It’s a fitting reward for Prescott, who has been a key leader for the Cowboys throughout his career, and now officially enters the 2024 season with long-term security.
The contract extension comes at a pivotal time for the Cowboys. Prescott, a three-time Pro Bowler, is entering his ninth season with Dallas, and the team is looking to build on a strong regular season from last year. Despite leading the Cowboys to a 12-5 record and an NFC East title, the team suffered a disappointing end to their playoff run with a wild-card loss to the Green Bay Packers at home in January.
While the Cowboys opted to retain head coach Mike McCarthy, who is coaching on an expiring contract, the team has placed much of its future in Prescott’s hands. His performance remains crucial as the team seeks to break through and make a deeper playoff push.
Last season, Prescott put up impressive numbers, throwing for 4,516 yards, 36 touchdowns, and just nine interceptions over 17 regular-season games. His leadership on the field, paired with his calm, collected demeanor off it, has cemented his role as the face of the franchise.
Now, with his new contract in place and the support of his partner, Sarah Jane Ramos, Prescott is poised to lead the Cowboys into what fans hope will be a championship-contending season.
As the spotlight on him grows brighter, Prescott continues to embody the balance of success in both his career and personal life, all while maintaining the humility and dedication that have made him one of the NFL’s most respected players.
With the contract saga behind him and his family by his side, Prescott is ready to focus on what he does best—leading the Cowboys on the field in pursuit of a Super Bowl title.
