The 26-year-old Prescott is the first quarterback in the organization’s history to have been given the franchise tag. Contract talks reportedly have been at odds due to the Cowboys wanting a five-year agreement and Prescott wanting a four-year deal, per ESPN.
The Cowboys have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal with Prescott. If the two sides can’t come to an agreement, the signal-caller will have to play the 2020 season on the tag.
Prescott has played 64 games in his first four NFL seasons. He’s tallied a 40-24 record with the Cowboys while recording career-bests in yards (4,902) and touchdowns (30) during the 2019 season.
