Why did Dak Prescott leave Adidas to join Jordan Brand? Details of his endorsement deal
Dak Prescott's 2021 off-season will be one he remembers for a long time. The Dallas Cowboys' franchise quarterback recently signed a massive four-year, $160 million deal with the team. Prescott has now inked another long-term, big-time deal, this time with the Jordan Brand.
Dak Prescott joins illustrious company after signing with the Jordan Brand
Dak Prescott's deal with Jordan Brand lasts for five years. He has some great company at Nike's apparel giant offshoot. The line currently has Davante Adams, Stefon Diggs, Devin White, Michael Thomas, Chase Claypool, and Jamal Adams.
The Cowboys franchise quarterback will be the only quarterback on the brand's star-studded roster. He will also be the highest-paid player on the Jordan Brand roster heading into the 2021 season.
Why Prescott jumped ship from Adidas to Jordan Brand
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.
Who else does Dak Prescott have endorsement deals with?
Apart from the shiny new deal with the Jordan Brand, Prescott has endorsement deals with Anheuser-Busch InBev, Pepsi, Sleep Number, Dannon Yogurt, Campbell's Soup, 7-Eleven, AT&T, and Beats by Dre.
Dak Prescott cements his future as a marketable athlete after Jordan Brand deal
It wasn't too long ago that the Dallas Cowboys' training staff was helping Dak Prescott onto a stretcher after he suffered a season-ending leg injury.

Dak Prescott's net worth
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.
