Honestly, with everything now going on around the country, and with the league, this may be the best alternative for this year.

Kirk Cousins’ advice to Dak Prescott: Franchise tag can be your friend
Posted by Charean Williams on May 8, 2020, 4:29 PM EDT
Kirk Cousins played under the franchise tag twice, in 2016 and again in 2017, before leaving for the Vikings in free agency in 2018. He originally signed a three-year, $84 million deal with the Vikings before agreeing to a two-year, $66 million extension this offseason.
It worked out for Cousins, who was the first quarterback to play under the franchise tag since Drew Brees in 2005 with the Chargers. That worked out for Brees, too.
What I worry about Dak if he's playing on the franchise tag that he will be playing careful, not to risk any injury. Last season he looked very hesitant running the football, more so then what we seen in the prior years. He is a dual threat QB and needs to use his legs if opportunity presents itself.
