News: Cowboys placed exclusive franchise tag on Prescott

[Risen Star]

Hello darkness, my old friend....

 

[Gaede]

Hmmm. Not surprising.

This contract situation is starting to stress me out.

 

[gmb1]

Interesting....

His agent won’t pick up the phone they’ve been reporting that

Jerry fails again. Non-exclusive was better move.

 

[mcmvp]

It was always going to happen. LOL'ing at those that thought a deal would be done at the 11th hour...

They had over a year to do this deal - they are just too far apart

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Well, pretty much writing on the wall unfortunately. I would have preferred to see the team tag him with a none exclusive tag but whatever.

 

[DCBoysfan]

Pretty much par for the course, this was predicted awhile ago. I would prefer a long-term deal, but it is what it is.

The Cowboys have placed the exclusive franchise tag on Dak Prescott, according to a source. The Cowboys’ hope is to sign Prescott to a long-term deal well before July 15 but recent talks have not gone far. Since the system has been in place, only eight quarterbacks have been tagged and only two have played under the tag the entire season: Kirk Cousins twice (2016-17) in Washington and Drew Brees in 2005 in San Diego. Next question: Will Prescott show up for offseason work without deal?

lol is that true?

He is probably out of toilet paper.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Tagged as expected. After all this time they still couldn't reach an agreement. Epic fail on both parts.

Hopefully this means a deal for Cooper is announced later this morning.

Belichick would've done so

send the dude some 80 grit sandpaper

BUT wait...this gives all parties time and options to explore. Trading Dak now also becomes a real option. Tampa may be willing to call Dallas and throw the kitchen sink at us.

 

[fivetwos]

Theres no way Jerry is thinking this way....if anything he is probably hurt because he thought he and #4 were friends ( because that's hah it wurks wit dah Cahbaughs)....but

I've seen several mocks where Herbert and Love are available at 17.

Without having to sign his randomly available security blanket, and this OL, and THIS running game, maybe take all those cap dollars and build a defense.

Prescott can show up in week 10 and ride the bench, and see where that leaves him.

He is seriously flirting with falling out of fan favor, and I predict it gets there before this is settled.

 

[Rayman70]

we were always gonna tag him. Its all about having options. Mission accomplished. Now we will either trade him or sign him long term.

only if dak signs the tag
