Monday brought with it the news that the Dallas Cowboys placed the franchise tag on Dak Prescott. Tagging quarterbacks isn’t something that historically ends all too well. Obviously there is Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints, but to the point of many there is Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins. A franchise tag brings with it an inherent “disrespect” in the minds of many.
Cowboys fans should all be hopeful that they get a long-term deal done with Prescott shortly. The last thing you want for your NFL team is a stalemate with its most important player, and unfortunately that is technically where we are.
