Why Prescott jumped ship from Adidas to Jordan Brand

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott

Dak Prescott signed with Adidas in 2016 after being drafted out of Mississippi State. While at Adidas, the QB had excellent company. The German sportswear giant boasts some of the NFL's top athletes on its roster, including the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, Alvin Kamara, Von Miller, Travis Kelce, DeAndre Hopkins, Derwin James, and Jalen Ramsey.

The Cowboys quarterback has seemingly made a big business decision by walking away from Adidas and signing with the Jordan Brand.

While the financial side of the deal with the Jordan Brand has not been released, reports indicate it's a more lucrative deal than the one with Adidas. That is supposedly why Prescott made the switch this offseason.

Dak Prescott's net worth

Dallas Cowboys v Seattle Seahawks

Dallas Cowboys franchise quarterback Dak Prescott has a reported net worth of $40 million. He has an annual salary of $42 million for the first three years of his Cowboys contract, and after his recent deal with the Jordan Brand, Prescott could see that number go even higher.

On March 8, 2021, the Dallas Cowboys signed Prescott to a long-term deal worth $160 million, with $126 million guaranteed. The deal also sees Prescott receive a cool $66 million signing bonus. Prescott's massive contract sees him slot in as the second-highest-paid player in the NFL in 2021, just behind Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The former 135th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft has built a nice little nest egg for himself. That said, it helps that he plays for one of the wealthiest NFL franchises; once again, the Dallas Cowboys have proven that playing for America's Team has its perks.
