It has been a long-time coming for Prescott and the Cowboys. Last season, Dallas placed the franchise tag on Prescott after they were unable to agree to a contract.
Prescott, who earned $31.4 million last year, suffered a season-ending compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle injury in Week 5 against the New York Giants.
