The Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott's agent, Todd France, have returned to the negotiating table for the first time since September.
According to ESPN's Todd Archer, the parties met Wednesday and discussed the 26-year-old's new contract.
"The meeting did not last long but the Cowboys hope to get a long-term deal finished before needing to use the franchise tag on Prescott," Archer noted. "To a degree, the discussions are complicated by the CBA extension that needs to be voted on by the players."
The franchise-tag and transition-tag window opens Thursday and lasts until March 12.
