FRISCO, Texas -- Finally, the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott have agreed to a contract, the team announced Monday.
The process covered three offseasons, multiple mega-million offers and hours of negotiations. The Cowboys placed the franchise tag on Prescott last season and Monday's deal comes a day before the deadline for teams to apply the franchise tag for the 2021 season.
The Cowboys, all along, said they wanted Prescott to be their franchise quarterback for the present and future, and Prescott said he wanted to remain with the Cowboys.
It just took a lot longer than normal.
