The Dallas Cowboys found themselves in a position that no franchise would ever want to be in. Sharing an estranged relationship with star quarterback Dak Prescott over a new contract, the Cowboys were oh-so-close to losing their key offensive weapon. 

A contract saga that dragged on for 2 years saw the Cowboys franchise tagging Prescott ahead of the 2020 season. While a gruesome ankle injury in Week 5 ruled the QB out for the rest of the season, he had done enough to win over the trust of the Cowboys front office. 

Signing a 4-year, $160 million contract extension, the Cowboys and Prescott let bygones be bygones. Now fit and ready to play again, Prescott said that he has utmost faith in the Cowboys management. A sharp departure from the sentiments he had for them even a year ago.
