DALLAS | Michael Irvin says Dak Prescott is owed back pay for 'stolen' years by Cowboys

In an interview with Rich Eisen, former Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin says that quarterback Dak Prescott is owed back pay for his four years with the Cowboys.

"Dak has been ... perfect. Not necessarily in wins and losses, of course. But I'm talking about just the person that he's been. The kind of investment you want to make, the kind of guy you say, 'Yeah, we hit it with this guy. We got him in the fourth round.' You stole four years, so whatever he gets, he deserves because you still owe him back pay."

Prescott is currently seeking a new contract after four seasons of playing under the salary of a fourth-round draft pick.

The Cowboys have placed the exclusive rights franchise tag on Prescott, which is worth a $31.409 million salary for 2020.

Prescott has not signed the tag.

Washington running back Derrius Guice has been named Sports Info Solution Blog's top breakout candidate in 2020.

"Guice has so far had trouble staying healthy during his first two seasons in the NFL. But when he was healthy last season, he flashed high-end potential. His 5.8 yards per rush average ranked second among backs with at least 40 carries. And he ranked first in Yards After Contact (4.6) and fourth in Broken Tackles Per 100 Rushes (28.6)," wrote author John Shirley.

Guice's ranking at the top is determined through SIS's player value metric Total Points per Snap algorithm. To qualify for this list, players entering either their second or third NFL season must have played between 10 and 40 percent of their teams’ snaps in 2019.
