NFL Free Agency 2020: Best landing spot for top 20 players
By Phil Watson
As of Monday, the Dallas Cowboys had not had a meeting or exchanged contract proposals with agent Todd France this offseason according to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.
Considering France is the agent for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, that’s kind of a big deal.
But there is zero chance Dallas goes into 2020 without Prescott behind center, per ESPN’s Todd Archer. Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones made that clear.
"“I mean Dak’s our quarterback. He’s our quarterback fro the future and we have nothng but the greatest respect for him. He’s a competitor. He’s won a lot of football games for us. Obviously, he, like us, we all want to take that next step and get into a championship game and get to the big game and ultimately win a championship.”"
Prescott had a career year even as Dallas fell to 8-8 and missed the playoffs, throwing for 4,902 yards (one off the franchise record of 4,903 set by Tony Romo in 2012) and set a career-high with 30 touchdown passes against 11 interceptions.
Prescott has started 64 straight games for the Cowboys since they took him in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft and was a Pro Bowler in 2016 and 2018 when he led Dallas to the playoffs.
While the Cowboys have not had a losing season with Prescott at the helm, Dallas is 1-2 in three playoff games over the past four seasons, getting a Wild Card Playoff win over the Seahawks in 2018 before losing on the road to the Rams in the next round.
Dallas hasn’t reached an NFC Championship since 1995, the last time the Cowboys won the Super Bowl.
