Dak Prescott signing the franchise tag with the Dallas Cowboys is a big deal because it provides some stability for 2020. For both sides.
Barring an unexpected holdout after signing the tag, Prescott will be the Cowboys’ quarterback from Week 1 on. There will presumably be no Le’Veon Bell-style holdout. Prescott will play and for a princely sum of $31.4 million. That’s good news for the Cowboys. And with some uncertainty over what will happen with NFL revenues in a season that might not have fans, it’s prudent for Prescott to ensure an enormous payday.
