Dak Prescott’s Deal:

The Cowboys put the exclusive franchise tag on Prescott on March 16

Last September, he turned down an updated offer of at least $34 million annually. He had turned down a deal for $33 million annually with $105 million in guarantee money.

Any new offer at this point would match or exceed Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson’s league-leading $35 million annual salary.

In addition, Prescott prefers a four-year deal and the Cowboys wanting five years or longer to help spread out the bonus money and lower the cap figure throughout the contract.

The Star-telegram.com reports, due to contract restructures around the league, the exclusive franchise tag for quarterbacks, which is the average of the top five players at the position, has been reduced to $28.6 million, according to a source. Prescott is currently counting $26.8 million against the cap. The final franchise tag value will be determined April 17.

It was one thing to turn down $34 million annually when the tag was expected to be $32 million. But if it’s $28.6 million, Prescott is leaving a lot of money on the table, especially with the increase with the updated offer.

The Cowboys have until July 15 to sign Prescott to a long-term deal or he will have to play the 2020 season on the franchise tag.
