Dak Prescott Just Called Jerry Jones' Bluff, Because He Holds All the Cards

Congratulations, Dak Prescott! You just signed a three-year, $123 million contract with the Cowboys, making you one of the NFL's highest-paid players. And most of the money is virtually guaranteed!

OK, that's not technically true. Prescott is merely signing a one-year guaranteed franchise tender of $31.4 million. But if you know how the franchise tag works when it comes to quarterbacks, it might as well be a three-year, $123 million deal.

Per months of reports, Prescott wants a new four-year contract, while Jerry Jones wants to sign him to at least a five-year contract.
