News: Cowboys placed exclusive franchise tag on Prescott

[ChronicCowboy]

Where did he go? Liquor store? Bank? Friend's house?

Nope, he’s on his way to a legitimate NFL franchise.

 

[JoeKing]

Is that for an unsigned tag or is that for a signed player that doesn't show up like what Zeke did last year? Is there a difference?

Dak has no deal and has not signed his tag. The new CBA can not force him to do anything. He just can't be tampered with by other teams.

 

[Rayman70]

Whether you're in the you LIKE Dak or you DON'T like Dak camp, one thing is crystal clear...……………….Jerry and Stephen ABSOLUTELY messed this entire 2020 scenario up. Their 1st mistake was not signing Dak when he was at his cheapest point (towards the end of 2018 after Amari came to town). Then, they compound THAT mistake by caving on Zeke's demands even though he had 2 years left on his deal. To make matters worse, they sign Jaylon to his extension when he was due for one THIS YEAR (after the way he played in 2019, they OBVIOUSLY could've saved $$$$). So, they waited to the last possible minute to sign the 2 MOST IMPORTANT dudes with actual expiring contracts. Even Hollywood couldn't make up such a ridiculous story.

WELL SAID..they got too cute for their own good..as per usual. Now we stand to not have 3 huge FA...GONNA lose Jones, Coop and now may have no other choice but to trade a unhappy Dak. GOOD JOB JERRY.

well like most every thing this front office has tried to do over the last 10 years this Is another display of total suckage kept a clown for a head coach then wont sign ur good players early no wonder every body makes fun of jerry and Stephen and the dallas cowboys they are a total three stodges show thinking maybe I need to find other things to do than try to follow this crap show

I *think* the end of the 2018 season was the earliest they could redo Dak's rookie deal, but yeah. Either you recognize you don't want him long term and trade him, or you do want him and you sign him as early as possible for as long as possible to maximize your long term cap savings.

From the end of 2018 to 2020 there have been a ton of QB contracts that only moved the market one way, UP.

In fact, I'll go a step further. The FO is also screwing this all up by NOT placing the Non-Exclusive Tag on him. Look, I like Dak and want him to be the Cowboys QB the next decade, but, if another team (Say TB) is gonna throw $36M at him AND give up 2 1's, you AT LEAST need to know what the market was gonna be. STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BrassCowboy]

WE LOOK LIKE AN EMBRARRASSMENT AS AN ORGANIZATION. Just like 2019 played out on the field..this may be worse. BAD OPTICS.

Why? Cuz we didn't sign a player that 50% of people/fans don't think deserves the payday?
This makes it possible to move on if we have to, or get a qb in draft. Sky isn't falling

 

[MarcusRock]

This guy is not endearing himself to lots of fans right now. It's obvious he is greedy and has an over inflated idea as to his

We will not win with him at qb, that's a given now

If I were a player, I wouldn't give a crap about being "endeared" to fickle, piker fans. Dak was the good guy last year with Zeke going after his money. Now that Dak is going after his "the right way" as fans deemed it last year, he's seen as a bad guy. This is why you get what you can on your own terms and ignore the noise.

Exactly right, we've gone from calling the Raiders 'insane' for paying Carr $25 million a year to that being a 'bargain contract'.

The Joneses - specifically Stephen - have tried to go the cheap route and completely misread where the market was headed. Now they'll pay top dollar either way. The son totally bungled this thing and the exclusive tag is just the latest evidence that they have no clue what they're doing.

after tannehill, now cousins with a 2 year 66m extension. the price is just going up from here....

I just know what we were prior to the Cooper trade THEN AFTER. Call me crazy..but hes a darn good player and we aren't very good without him.

 

[JoeKing]

truth is, we aren't gonna tag him for the entire season. At some point before June or july, we will have a deal in place to either trade him or keep him long term.

If Dak gets a new deal, it won't go into effect until the 2021 season. He has been tagged, that is what he is playing under in 2020.

Its full on rebuild mode if we lose coop and Dak.

 

[ESisback]

Dont over react... This tag shouldn't be seen anything more then a place holder until an extension is agreed upon.

All this board DOES is overreact! Exclusive tag...Jerry’s dumb! Non-exclusive yah...Jerry’s dumb! Trade...Jerry’s dumb! Pay him what he wants...Jerry’s dumb!....

are you sure? i thought the franchise tag could be used like a place holder and if a new deal is reached before the season starts, it takes the place of and supersedes the franchise tag.

 

[big dog cowboy]

the Cowboys suffering for many years because of it.

Still makes no sense to me the way the salary cap raises each year.

Need to resign copper

 

[Super_Kazuya]

I’m actually mildly proud of the Jones boys... at least in their feeble brains, there is an actual limit to what they would do to retain a player. Over the years I had begun to suspect there wasn’t.

 

[George]

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.

This sure doesn’t surprise me. Should have traded Dak. Wouldn’t have got much. Anything third round or better is positive step. I’m already pitying MM unless he advised this.

Pretty sure that's incorrect. If he gets an extension he's not even going to sign the tag.
