It appears Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will be playing the upcoming season under the franchise tag, barring a last-second blitz of contract talks.
According to ESPN's Todd Archer, Prescott and the Cowboys aren't planning any negotiations ahead of the looming deadline:
"Despite Wednesday's deadline to sign Dak Prescott to a long-term deal, there are no scheduled talks between the Dallas Cowboys and the quarterback's agent, Todd France, according to multiple sources.
"While things can change quickly with a simple phone call, there was expected to be more urgency in getting a deal done that would lock Prescott in for the long term while making the quarterback one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL.
