While Dallas accomplished its goal of retaining Prescott, the designation allows the team until July 15 to continue works on a long-term deal. If a deal is not struck by the date, Prescott will play for the Cowboys in 2020 and the process will begin again next offseason.
The Cowboys made the announcement public Monday morning.
