The money is huge and it’s sure to create salary cap drama for Dallas … but it’s still welcome news for the Cowboys and their fans regardless.
Dak and Dallas tried to get a deal done all last offseason … but couldn’t make it happen — reportedly quarreling over the length of the prospective contract.
Prescott played on the franchise tag last season … and it seemed the two sides were possibly headed for yet another franchise tag season this year after negotiations still dragged on the last few months.
But, the two sides were finally able to hammer out a deal on Monday … with the Cowboys saying they’ll formally announce the contract at a news conference Wednesday.
