It’s now official.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will play the 2020 season on the franchise tag, worth a guaranteed $31.4 million.

Not only did Prescott and the Cowboys fail to get a long-term deal done before Wednesday’s 3 p.m. deadline, but they didn’t even talk in the days and hours leading up to it.

That was before a last-minute effort and some apparent family frustration.

Prescott made a last minute call to Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones to get a deal done, according to Jane Slater of the NFL Network.
