FRISCO, Texas -- In the previous two seasons, the Dallas Cowboys' only decision regarding the franchise tag was on Dak Prescott.
The Cowboys used it in 2020 at a cost of $31.4 million for the quarterback. They technically used it again in 2021 at a cost of $37.7 million, but worked out a long-term deal with Prescott that was worth $160 million over four years and included $126 million in guarantees.
The Cowboys' decision regarding a franchise or transition tag this year is a little more unknown.
They have 21 players set to become unrestricted free agents, but there are two true contenders for the tag: defensive end Randy Gregory and tight end Dalton Schultz.
