For the second time this offseason, the Dallas Cowboys have met with Dak Prescott's agent, Todd France, to discuss a long-term deal for the quarterback, according to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News.
Watkins notes that the Cowboys have offered Prescott $33 million annually and $105 million in guaranteed money. He also states that both sides are in a “holding pattern” as they wait for the new collective bargaining agreement to be reached.
Dallas also has until March 12 to place a franchise tag on Prescott if the two parties are unable to come to terms on a long-term contract.
“It’s what it is,” Jones said of possibly striking a deal before March 12. “We just have to figure out a way to do it. That was one of the reasons I’ve said was why I could have conceived not doing it. There’s no question it’s going to prove a bigger angst, but we’re going to be better off for it, and I think we’ll be better off for it as a team. But there’s a little more challenge here on our part to not have both tags. To be trite.”
Prescott is coming off of a 2019 campaign in which he threw for 4,902 yards, 30 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while completing 65.1 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 99.7.
The 26-year-old, who played his collegiate football at Mississippi State, was originally selected by the Cowboys in the fourth round (135th pick overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Dallas had Super Bowl aspirations entering this past season, but instead, the club went just 8-8 and missed the playoffs.
