Troy Aikman thinks using the franchise tag on Dak Prescott could have “damaging effects”

The fraternity of Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks is like no other, being the signal-caller for America’s Team isn’t exactly an easy thing. Among the greatest quarterbacks of all time resides former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman. Many of today’s youth know Aikman as FOX’s top color analyst, but what he did for the team in the 1990s is among the finest football that anyone has ever played.

Obviously Aikman does hold a very public job these days and in parallel with that he is an ambassador for the Cowboys. He often discusses the Cowboys in interviews.

Aikman spoke this past Wednesday on Sirius XM NFL Radio, and as you can imagine, he was asked about the contractual status of the team’s current quarterback - Dak Prescott.
