Dak Prescott Urges Cowboys to Give Generous Christmas Bonuses to Staff
Dak Prescott has urged his Dallas Cowboys teammates to fund Christmas bonuses for the team’s staff members through a pooled pot with an allocation sheet, as revealed in a scene from Hard Knocks. The bonuses, an annual tradition, include recipients such as staff who work closely with players, including the ball-snapping offensive line members, defensive line dummy holders, and equipment and locker room staff.
Prescott emphasized generosity in his message to teammates, encouraging them not to be cheap and framing the bonus process as straightforward. This act of appreciation coincides with the Cowboys’ broader charitable efforts during the holiday season, including their partnership with the Salvation Army and the Red Kettle Campaign, which has raised over $2.75 billion since 1997.
The Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to play the Washington Commanders on Christmas Day. This report was published on December 24, 2025.
