Dak Prescott finally gets his huge payda

Good morning and happy Tuesday, friend! Hey, Dak Prescott...if you're reading this, may I have some money?The big news of the day yesterday was Prescott finally getting his incredibly lucrative extension with the , so you better believe we're going to be diving into the dollars here this morning. Before we do that, here's an amazing stat for you:In 1989, Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys for around $140 million. Yesterday, he inked an individual player to a $160 million deal.We've also got plenty more to get to here this morning, including Les Miles being cut loose by and Champions League knockout action getting back underway today. It's gonna be a busy morning so you might want to go a little harder on the coffee pour. Oh, and one more thing...apologies for forgetting about the mailbag last week. If you can find it in your heart to forgive me, my mailbox is once again open this week (pete.blackburn@cbsinteractive.com) and I'll take whatever questions you've got for tomorrow's mailbag. They can be sports related (of course) but don't be afraid to send me Kenny Wooten Jersey any Q's on pop culture, current events, video games or any other weird/random things you can think of. Let's have some fun.Okay, let's get you up to speed. What you need to know 1. gets his extension At long last, Dak Prescott has acquired his bag. After an exhaustive negotiation proce s that took around two years, he'd been searching for yesterday. Here are some of the financial implications of that huge extension:Prescott agreed to a four-year deal worth a maximum of $160 million($126 million guaranteed), making it the second-richest QB deal in NFL history (behind ).It also includes a $66 million signing bonus (the largest in NFL history)The deal is reportedly actually for six years but is voidable after four years (with the last two years being dummy years), so it allows the Cowboys to spread the money Austin Rivers Jersey out and save money on the salary cap hitThe deal will pay Dak $75 million in year one (the most in NFL history)His salary cap hit next season will be $22.2 million instead of the $37.7 million that would have come along with the franchise tag (savings of $15.5 million against this season's cap) It took a long time for the two sides to reach a compromise but we finally got there! If you're wondering about what might have pushed them acro s the finish line...Maybe it was the looming franchise tag hike? Maybe it was seeing how quickly things fell apart without Dak after he went down with that injury? Or maybe, , it was an impending "extraordinary TV deal" providing an influx of dough to Jerry Jones' pockets? (After all, he has to make sure that the Scrooge McDuck vault in his super yacht stays full at all times.) In any case, good for Dak for standing his ground and waiting it out to secure his payday. It's also nice to see that the gruesome injury that took him off the Charles Oakley Jersey field last year didn't end up taking money out of his pocket. However, now the pre sure is REALLY on. If you thought Cowboys fans were tough on him before, I'd imagine that might get ramped up a bit with big dollars going his way.2. Les Miles out at Kansas following misconduct investigation Some big college football news came acro s the wire late last night when it was announced that . The decision was labeled as a mutual agreement to part ways but it would seem as though Miles has been fired after it was revealed last week that he exhibited inappropriate conduct around women during his time as head coach at .Miles was placed on administrative leave over the weekend after the report on the investigation (conducted by an independent law firm) was made publicThe investigation found that Miles' inappropriate behavior included "texting female students, taking them to his condo alone, making them feel uncomfortable and, on at least one occasion, ki sing a student and suggesting they go to a hotel after telling her he could help her career" Miles has denied any wrongdoing and his attorney i sued a statement on Saturday calling the decision to place the coach on leave "disturbing and unfair" Kansas athletic director Jeff Long released a statement on Monday night and, well, it's not exactly the strongest statement I've ever seen considering the circumstances. Long:Emphasizing a need to win football games while parting ways with your coach for allegedly being a creep towards women? Seems a bit unnece sary, but maybe that's just me. It's also probably safe to say that Long's job is on the line if the next hire doesn't work out.That being said, the football program may not mi s Miles all that much on the field. He took over the Jayhawks' program in 2019 and went 3-18 in his two seasons.3. Champions League resumes today After a brief one-week break from UEFA Champions League play, as we get RJ Barrett Jersey into second leg action. That means we'll start learning which UCL teams will be moving on to the quarterfinals, and there are plenty of intriguing storylines to keep an eye out for over the next couple of days. Neymar faces Barca: Barcelona is staring down a seemingly impo sible hill to climb after losing 4-1 to PSG in the first leg, but there's a notable story to watch regardle s -- Neymar's return to the lineup against his former club. The PSG star mi sed the opening leg due to injury but it sounds DeAndre Jordan Jersey like he's going to be ready to go against Barca tomorrow. He'll be lining up against old teammates like Lionel Me si, and there have been plenty of rumors that PSG will try to make a move for Me si this summer...Dortmund hosts shaky Sevilla: The German side beat Sevilla 3-2 in the first leg, and the Spanish side has really been struggling of late. Things are trending heavily in favor of Dortmund heading into today's matchup but Sevilla remains in striking distance so anything could happenLiverpool limp into Leipzig encounter: Liverpool took a 2-0 first leg lead over Leipzig but they've been falling apart lately. Jurgen Klopp's men have lost an incredible six straight home games (with a total of one goal scored in that span) to fall out of title contention in the EPL. This could be a "get right" match for them on Wednesday, or it could be disastrous...Second leg action is where you truly separate the men from the boys, so this should be quite a fun few weeks coming up. As an important reminder, .4. Stories to follow at TPC Sawgra s As we discu sed yesterday, this week's Players Championship will be played without thanks to an unfortunate knee injury. That news comes as a big disappointment but there are still plenty of rea
