Late Saturday night the CBA voting window came to a close and the results were released to the public early Sunday morning. The CBA has passed, which means teams can only use one franchise tag or transition tag. They can’t use both now. This means the Dallas Cowboys need to act quickly to get a deal done with either Amari Cooper or Dak Prescott, so the team can franchise tag the other.
The new league year is set to begin on Wednesday, with Monday opening up the legal tampering period.

With Tannehill getting his new deal done, this just means that everyone will look at his contract earnings and agree that Prescott is set to be paid a lot of money. Plus Tannehill and Prescott share the same agent….Todd France.
To get paid….Garoppolo needed 7 games, Tannehill 10, Goff one season, Wentz shows flashes in a few injury plagued seasons. But Dak………(okay to shout when paraphrasing)

#Tannehill vs #Dak .. and a #Cowboys contract policy about to be tested: 'My focus is on our team, not where any of these players contracts are relative to another player. I'm not dealing in the market. I'm dealing with how to fit this team together.' – Jerry Jones.
