Report: Dak Prescott, Cowboys Fail to Agree to Contract; Will Play on $31.4M Tag

Dak Prescott will play the 2020 season on his one-year franchise tender after the deadline to sign a long-term extension with the Dallas Cowboys passed with no agreement.

Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News noted they were unable to reach a contract agreement before the 4 p.m. ET deadline.

Negotiations between Prescott and the Cowboys have been a significant topic throughout the offseason. The two-time Pro Bowler is already under contract for 2020 after signing his one-year franchise tender worth $31.4 million on June 22.

Per Sports Illustrated's Mike Fisher, one key difference for Prescott and the Cowboys when they were talking about an extension was how many years it would be.
