Dak Prescott played out the final season of his rookie contract with the Dallas Cowboys and his status as a free agent hangs in the balance as the new league year approaches.
Troy Aikman was asked recently on Sirius XM NFL Radio about the Cowboys placing the franchise tag on Prescott.
\"I know [Cowboys owner] Jerry [Jones] has talked about wanting to sign him,\" Aikman said.
\"To me it is a no-brainer, you\'re right. I\'m surprised it hasn\'t happened. I\'d hate to think what might happen or how Dak might feel if they end up going the franchise tag route. I just don\'t think that\'s gonna be in the best interest of all parties. Ultimately, I don\'t think it\'s in the best interest of the Cowboys and it could have damaging effects in my opinion. I\'m hoping they get a deal done.\"
