You got it.I'm good with this. Franchise tag for Dak and transition tag for Amari. Let's see how they both do with a new coaching staff and then make long-term decisions on both of them.
that's encouraging, I didn't think they had the stones to do it; they must have locked jeri in a closet full of hookers and Johnnie Walker Blue to keep him distracted from his core philosophy of over-paying for things
Am I confused or would the transition tag only give us the chance to match a contract offer for Amari? And if we don't we get zero compensation. I fail to see how this would be more useful than just signing the guy.I'm good with this. Franchise tag for Dak and transition tag for Amari.

And this is why playing this franchise tag game with your franchise QB is an awful idea. This isn't Madden.Dak Prescott won't commit to showing up, if he's tagged - ProFootballTalk
The dance continues between the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott, and the music could soon take an ominous turn.With Prescott having completed his rookie deal and with the Cowboys facing the question of whether to sign him to a new contract or to apply the franchise tag, Prescott declined to...profootballtalk.nbcsports.com
I did some reading and found out something I didn’t know. If we do use the transition tag and end up signing him to a contract we can’t use that tag again until his contract expires. Not sure I’m a fan of using it now that I know that.Am I confused or would the transition tag only give us the chance to match a contract offer for Amari? And if we don't we get zero compensation.

FYI I think this is all standard contract posturing. Their is a ton of time to get a contract worked out and I seriously doubt the Cowboys want to continue down this franchise tag path with their franchise QB. It can only end badly.
Yep, I refuse to get worked up over it. A long term deal is going to get done this offseason. Just like we all knew Zeke would get his extension whether we liked it or not.Looks like they are negotiating in the media right now.
I’m not so sure we get a deal done with Dak this offseason. I could easily see them applying the tag for a year. But, if they can get a deal done with Amari, then the tag makes a lot of sense for Dak.Yep, I refuse to get worked up over it. A long term deal is going to get done this offseason.

I don't think the franchise tag makes any sense for Dak honestly. You risk ruining the offseason with worries about money and contracts instead of winning championships. You don't do that with a franchise QB. And then the price tag either goes up next offseason or you've sunk the ship so badly that you now have to search for a new QB to build around. I don't see any upside to the franchise tag with a 26 year old QB who you have 4 seasons as a starter to judge. You either love him or you should move on.I’m not so sure we get a deal done with Dak this offseason. I could easily see them applying the tag for a year.

If your opinion is that he is average, which I very much disagree with, than let him leave and bring someone new in. You shouldn't pay average QBs. You should draft them and try to win with rookie deals at QB.Dak couldnt even get this team to the playoffs in his best year. You don't pay an average QB top 3 money.
Agree. He's either your franchise QB or he's not. Shit or get off the pot. If he is, pay him. If he's not, then why tag him? Pay him $30 million for a maybe? The message to Dak and the team is, "We're not quite sure." Create bad will all around, controversy, distractions.I don't think the franchise tag makes any sense for Dak honestly.

The saying either shit or get off the pot comes to mind. Stalling hurts everyone in this scenario.
