The Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott have finally come to a deal. The Cowboys placed the franchise tag on Dak Prescott for $31.4 million for the 2020 NFL Football season.
Last season, Prescott lead the Cowboys to an 8-8 season, throwing for thirty touchdowns and eleven interceptions. There is reports that Prescott wants to sign a four year deal with the Dallas Cowboys in the offseason.
My Thoughts
Well for now the beef with Dak Prescott and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will seem to die down a little bit. Prescott signed a HUGE contract for one year. Was he way too overpaid? Absolutely. But the deal was going to happen regardless, because the Cowboys need something to stay in playoff contention.
Prescott is definitely way too over paid though, he is one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL, but he is not on the level of Tom Brady, Drew Brees, or Aaron Rodgers. When Prescott was a rookie, he looked really promising. But ever since that 2016 season, he has not even been close to his normal self.
The Cowboys are most likely going to finish with the same record again, and possibly sneak in to the playoffs in the Wild Card game. Prescott will most likely throw the same numbers again this year, and he will be asking for this big contract again in free agency.
As overrated as Prescott is, The Cowboys needed him. They couldn’t let him walk away and have Andy Dalton run the quarterback position. If that happened, the Cowboys would be even worse.
