“Today’s a good day to sign Dak Prescott” finally came true this past week. To most people’s surprise, the Dallas Cowboys were able to work out a deal with Prescott prior to the franchise tag deadline. What are the ways that Prescott was victorious, and what worked well for the club? Just how did the two sides work towards the $126 million guarantee?

The NFL set the salary cap at $182.5 million, so what does that look like for the next week? What is the team’s approach going to be in free agency now that Prescott is secured? How much does Prescott’s deal set the stage for the next wave of quarterbacks to try and negotiate extensions with their teams? Which of Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield will reap the most rewards and how soon will Prescott be back at the negotiating table? All of this and more is covered as I sit and talk with Ryan O’Leary on the latest episode of the Cowboys Wire podcast.
