 Not every single problem is resolved immediately, that's why when you want to come to a resolution, you have to take steps in order to make it to that resolution. And that is just the case with the Cowboys and Dak Prescott, they franchise tagged him as everyone expected them to. And that franchise tag was at a whopping $31.4 million. That's a whole lot of money. But Dak Prescott and his camp, there have been so many different stories that have come out. Will he sign it? When is he going to sign it? Can the Cowboys rescind it? Will they rescind it? Cowboys signed Andy Dahl, and hey, maybe they may just roll with him this year and let Dak Prescott go or trade him to another team. And that is all still a possibility, but it's extremely unlikely. And in my opinion, I would say it's about 99.99% unlikely. So basically, it's not going to happen. Me, I am no Cowboys fan, but there was never one doubt in my mind that the Cowboys will be going into this year without a Dak Prescott, that the Cowboys would possibly be starting anybody besides Dak Prescott. Regardless of how much Haiti gets, regardless of how much scrutiny he's under, Dak Prescott is not a bad quarterback. He's not. Sometimes the stats can't get inflated a little bit, because in some games they may be coming back and then there may be some not necessarily stat padding, but he may be throwing more because the Cowboys will be down more. Maybe he threw an interception or two, maybe somebody fumbled, whatever the case may be. Dak Prescott is not a bad quarterback, but I do know some Cowboys fans personally, not all. So I cannot speak for all Cowboys fans, but there were some that wanted this to be a throwback. And being a Cowboys quarterback, it's got to be tough, because you are forever going to be compared to Roger Starbuck, you're going to be compared to Akeman. And those guys were obviously extremely successful. And that's why with Tony Romo, that's why I feel like he just got so much just hate and Tony Romo was not bad, man. But anyway, that's neither he nor there. So Dak Prescott, he is going to be signing his franchise tag and collecting his $31.4 million. And that is a handsome chunk of change. And with Dak Prescott, he wants to be a cowboy for the long term. He wants to come to a contract extension with the Cowboys. And there were of course the rumors that got put out, put out about him possibly wanting like 45 million the last year of his deal. And a lot of those rumors got shut down. And we just, we'll see what happens moving forward. But the franchise tag is something that is a gift and a curse all at the same time. Because Dak Prescott, I believe he was a fourth round pick. So this franchise tag, it is the most money that he's ever made. It'll be his biggest check yet. And the best thing about it, it is 1,000% guaranteed. And I know 1,000 is a percent, but y'all get what I mean. It's all guaranteed, all of it. Everything is guaranteed, $31.4 million is all his. So when he takes his check, after taxes of course, you know, I'm gonna say I'm gonna get hit. But anyway, after he takes his check and deposits into the bank, gotta worry about nothing. That's all he is. But it's only good for this year. It's only good for this year. So that's why Dak Prescott wants to come to a long term agreement with the Cowboys. That's why the Cowboys want to come to a long term agreement with Dak Prescott. And they have until July 15th to do just that. Now today, it is, what is the date today? June 21st. So they have what, 16 days? I mean 26 days or 25 days, something like that. They got a little less than a month to get this thing worked out. But again, as we talked about previously or earlier in the video, that's the resolution. The resolution is a long term contract between the Cowboys and Dak Prescott. So to reach that resolution, they have to take steps to get there. And this was a huge step with him signing his franchise tag, with him getting ready to sign his franchise tag by Monday. So now they can, this can sort of speed things up for the Cowboys and Dak Prescott. And this usually when deadlines, deadlines really create, they create this speed. They create this, this just this energy. There's a deadline, a clear deadline by July 15. But with this step, they've taken another step forward for meeting that deadline. So now it's just a wait and see approach for when that deal is reached. I think it's definitely going to happen. Worst case scenario for Dak Prescott, it doesn't happen this year. But ooh, that is risky. The safe instance he plays under the franchise tag this year. And what if he has a bad year? What if Dak Prescott's stock goes down? Now he will still get picked up by somebody, even if it wasn't the Cowboys, even if he had a bad year this year. And it could still even be the Cowboys. But what if his stock goes down and his price tag goes down? Possibility. It's a possibility. Or it's actually a possibility too, that him playing under the franchise tag this year, it could actually help his price go up. Because when QBs reset, I mean really for any position, but especially quarterbacks, when they reset the market, they reset the market. And Patrick Mahomes is getting ready to crush, destroy the entire market. He is getting ready to reset it like crazy, like it's never been reset before. So if Dak Prescott gets paid before that, then it could be like, OK, but then Patrick Mahomes is going to destroy that. But if Patrick Mahomes gets paid before Dak Prescott, we all know that Dak Prescott is no Patrick Mahomes. He has not had the level of success that Patrick Mahomes has had in his short career, but he could use that as, hey, OK, you don't want to pay me Patrick Mahomes money. I want something close to it. I'm a franchise quarterback. Show me the money. And if he's using Dak Prescott, I mean if Dak Prescott is using Patrick Mahomes contract as a talking point, oh boy, it's going to get ugly. But anyway, we'll see how everything goes. This is going to be fun. Cowboys fans, I know y'all got to be going through it. I know you are. Both in a good and a bad way, because it can be stressful. Contract situations are stressful because it's the ugly side of football, or one of the ugly sides of football, the business side, and things can get quite nasty. Anyway, like Dak Prescott won't be with the Cowboys this year, I'm out.
