The Dallas Cowboys are prepared to place an exclusive franchise tag worth $33 million on quarterback Dak Prescott if they are unable to come to an agreement on a long-term deal with the signal-caller by March 12, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network (h/t Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com).

Prescott, who will turn 27 years old in July, had the best statistical season of his four-year career in 2019. The ex-Mississippi State star completed 65.1 percent of his passes for a career-high 30 touchdown passes. His 8.2 yards per pass attempt were also a career-best mark.
