There’s a tidbit in the CBA that could massively help the Cowboys with contracts pertaining to 2020
https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/201...the-cowboys-with-contracts-pertaining-to-2020
...According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano though... that’s not the case in 2020. Next year NFL teams can apply both the franchise and transition (I’m dubbing this move “the fransition tag” by the way) tags. That is a game-changer. Graziano even uses an example with Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper to illustrate his point.
Article 10 of the CBA stipulates that, in the Final League Year, teams are allowed to designate one franchise player and one transition player. So, in a hypothetical (and, frankly, unlikely) example in which neither Prescott nor Cooper is signed to a long-term extension by the end of the 2019 season and no new CBA is negotiated by next March, the Cowboys would have the ability to keep both of those players off the open market by designating one a franchise player and the other a transition player.
Prescott and Cooper work in the example because both of their contracts expire after the 2019 season. While the Cowboys have said that they want to work out a deal with Dak this offseason, this bit is still very interesting as it could be applied in a number of situations...
