Dak’s going to be back (we think) – we just don't know how yet.
Sources say the Dallas Cowboys will make a push to sign their quarterback to a long-term contract prior to the March 9 deadline for applying the franchise tag — a sign they’re confident in Prescott’s ongoing recovery from multiple surgeries on the ankle he fractured in October.
If no deal is struck, the Cowboys would tag Prescott a second time for a cost of about $37.7 million to keep him from hitting the free-agent market, per sources.
Dallas made a similar push last season, both in March and before the July 15 deadline for signing franchise players to multi-year deals.
