All Cowboys fans know the lay of the land by now. The organization is absolutely not letting Dak Prescott go anywhere, and if a long-term, or short-term deal, deal can’t be worked out, he will be tagged with the exclusive franchise tag. They have also let it be known that cornerback Byron Jones will be allowed to test the free agency waters, and with a player of his caliber, that usually means he won’t be returning. Then there’s Amari Cooper.
Sitting in the middle of those two is Cooper, who the Cowboys desperately want to keep, but with a possible new CBA wiping out the ability for the Cowboys to tag him with a transition tag while simultaneously tagging Prescott, they’ll need to hammer out a deal.
