Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins signed a fully guaranteed, three-year, $84 million contract in 2018 after playing on the franchise tag in back-to-back seasons with the Washington Redskins.
Playing on the tag worked out for Cousins, and it's possible the same will be said for Dallas Cowboys signal-caller Dak Prescott. Dallas placed an exclusive franchise tag on the former Mississippi State star in March.
On that note, Cousins told ESPN (h/t Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk) that he told Prescott that the franchise tag "can be your friend":
"Anybody who I run into who’s been franchise tagged, we have one on our team this year in Anthony Harris, I believe the franchise tag can be your friend.
