DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Now that several hours have passed since Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Giants, much of the conversation has turned towards the fact that Prescott was playing this season under the franchise tag.

The Joneses were unable to come to an agreement with Prescott and his agent Todd France in the offseason, forcing them to place the tag on the quarterback.
The Cowboys stance all along since those negotiations didn't result in an extension has been that Dak Prescott is their quarterback of the future, and last night's devastating injury didn't change their feelings about him.
"Absolutely not. Absolutely not. He's our future. He's special. If anyone can overcome anything it will be Dak. It's something our doctors feel like he'll overcome, and he'll come back better than ever," Cowboys COO Stephen Jones said Monday morning on 105.3 The Fan.
