Outside of Tom Brady, no other quarterback will be the talk of the offseason more than Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott.
After failing to come to an agreement on a long term contract this past offseason, the stage is set for Dak Prescott to cash in big this offseason.
Prescott is expected to be an unrestricted free agent but isn’t expected to go anywhere, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Per the report:
With no long-term contract in sight, the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott are heading straight toward a situation in which the team will have to use its franchise tag on the star quarterback, league sources told ESPN.
At this point, the franchise tag looks inevitable, according to sources, although neither side wants the tag to come into play. Dallas strongly prefers a long-term agreement, and it will continue to push to sign Prescott to an extension in the coming weeks. Prescott, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next month, also wants a long-term deal.
But the sides disagree over the two-time Pro Bowler’s value, leaving them at an impasse.
Despite the Cowboys finishing 8-8 and missing the playoffs this past season, Prescott had a career year, passing for 4,902 yards and 30 touchdown passes.
