Cowboys owner Jerry Jones shot down the Prescott angle immediately after the trade and said the trade was simply about acquiring young talent. On Tuesday, Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that the team is looking forward to having Prescott around for years to come when he was asked about continuing to negotiate with the quarterback into the season.
“You’re implying on discussion – those numbers on those contracts, those types of numbers, especially the big ones, you live with constantly, that’s always on your mind,” Jones said. “There’s never a time when it goes away because you’ve got to make the entire thing fit. So, it’s on the mind [with] a player decision in the middle of the year. It’s just a fundamental. We expect Dak to be with us a long time, and yeah, we’re always working around it with several machinations of numbers that would work.”
Jerry Jones reiterated on 105.3 The Fan, “We expect Dak to be with us a long time," with Prescott's deal expiring after 2024 and carrying a $59.4 million cap figure next year.
