Carson Palmer should keep his hands out of Dak Prescott's pockets

Why is an NFL player, current or former, telling another player to take less money in a contract? More accurately, why is Carson Palmer, who at the time he retired from his fairly mediocre career at the end of the 2017 season was one of the 10 highest-paid players in NFL history, telling Dak Prescott that he should not get every penny possible in his coming contract?
“I love Dak’s game. I think he’s great. I think he shouldn’t shoot for the moon [on his contract]. Being the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, there’s a lot more that comes with that financially. So you don’t have to be the top-paid quarterback in the league,” Palmer said.
Regardless of the number of zeroes involved, no one is telling you to accept less than your worth to your company because your partner also earns a good salary, and the money you may make in a side hustle or passion project doesn’t mean your full-time employer gets to pay you less.

Because he was a mid-round draft pick, Prescott earned around $4 million over the course of his four-year rookie contract, plus the $31.4 million from the franchise tag in 2020. That’s not pennies; we’re not saying it is. But the contract he signs in the coming months will provide the generational wealth that can change the course of his life and his family’s for years to come.
