The number is finally in for the exclusive franchise tag the Dallas Cowboys placed on quarterback Dak Prescott.
And sources confirm it will be $31.409 million, which would mark the largest one-year payout to a player in Cowboys history, officially surpassing the $31.1 million that defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence received last season.
As part of his five-year, $105.5 million contract extension, Lawrence got a $25 million signing bonus, a $4.6 million option bonus and a $1.5 million base salary in 2019.
Prescott's franchise number had initially been reported to be as high as $32 million before being reduced to as low as $26.8 million because of contract restructures.
Per the NFL Network, the tags are based on 2020 restricted free-agent numbers, and they are finalized after the restricted free-agent period ends, which was April 17.
Of course, Prescott has yet to sign the franchise tag and is currently boycotting the virtual offseason program in hopes of landing a long-term contract extension.
Prescott and the Cowboys have until July 15 to agree on a new deal or he will have to play in 2020 on the franchise tag.
Either way, Prescott stands to make more money in 2020 than any Cowboys player ever.
The Cowboys have already offered an extension worth at least $35 million annually and he has turned it down as the two sides continue to differ on contract length and structure.
