It’s the deal that didn’t get done. For much of the spring and into summer, there was a fixation on the negotiations between the Dallas Cowboys and starting quarterback Dak Prescott. After the team placed the franchise tag on Prescott, it was considered just a matter of time before a long-term deal would get done. The July 15th deadline was surely going to pressure the Cowboys into making concessions and meeting Prescott’s price.
Instead, the deadline passed and Prescott is playing 2020 on a $31.7 million, one-year deal that is dictated by the franchise tag.
