Jerry Jones always wants the biggest and best for the Dallas Cowboys, and now he’s within a day of giving them a new record: Richest Franchise Tag in NFL History.
That number, $37.7 million for the 2021 season, barring a major change in direction, will do little other than assure Dak Prescott wears the Cowboys star for one more year … before he basically becomes a coveted, unrestricted free agent capable of leaving Dallas in the lurch.
In the meantime, the 2021 Cowboys will be allocating a massive amount of their salary cap (projected $180 million) to a quarterback on a one-year rental agreement.
