Should of been the tag they used this yearShould the Cowboys use the non-exclusive tag on Dak in 2021? Would anyone give up two 1sts for him, knowing he will likely be an UFA in 2022 otherwise?
They should have used it this year.
However, by using the exclusive tag, they show they do want him long term. And I believe MM was in on this also. How could he not be.
Next year will be based on performance. Which I see no reason he will fail. However, will he lead the team further in the playoffs, if they get there.
While I do believe they wanted to sign him long term we do not really know what happened. It is possible they offered him a long term deal they knew he would not sign then claimed that they tried. That is classic passive aggressive behavior and is the opposite of wanting to sign him long term.They dont want him long term? Then why did they offer him a 5 year extension?
They can afford with a long term contract. I'll wait and see how he plays before I say Let him walk.Because Prescott was given the exclusive tag in 2020, his base salary will be $31.4 million. Due to the CBA rule that a player tagged for a second time will make 120% of that salary, he stands to make $37.69 million in 2021.
The total amount, $69.1 million is a lot of money. So much money, that the Cowboys don’t currently have the room to afford it. LET HIM WALK!

All depends on how he performs now. He's betting on himself to not only stay healthy again, but surpass the stats he put up last season to garner more money. Regardless, the other owners and GM's certainly took notice of him turning away
110 million guaranteed. Dak has to play lights out now to get what he wants, which is obviously a good thing for the team and the fans. It's going to be interesting to see how it all works out for Dakota.
