Just ridiculous! Prescott isn't even that good. He had a good rookie year... AND THAT'S IT.

Yup - but the Cowboys are in no position to replace him with anyone better and franchise tagging him would run up a huge bill and guarantee an unhappy starting QB.

It's the same situation all over the league - adequate but not great QBs (Jimmy Garoppolo, Jared Goff) get record-setting deals. If their contract guy is smart and Prescott declines over the next year or two, they'll be able to cut him with little cap impact later.

Too many teams. The quality of play in the NFL would be much improved if they got rid of about ten teams. There simply aren’t enough good quarterbacks to go around.
