Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was emphatic when it came to the team’s plans at quarterback during a press conference in Dallas on Tuesday.
“We want Dak Prescott, and that’s that,” Jones said, via the team’s website.
Prescott’s status has been a talking point all offseason because he’s in the final year of his contract and the team has not signed him to an extension. The extension watch is also on for wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and linebacker Micah Parson and Jones was asked why the team has not been able to reach agreement on a new deal with any of the three players.
“We’d like to see more leaves fall,” Jones said. “We’d like to see more action. It’s called option quarterback. I’ve spent my life [playing] option quarterback. I want to see some more cards played.”
Others might be ready to see the Cowboys reach the finish line with Prescott, Lamb, and Parsons, but Jones isn’t in that camp and nothing’s going to change in Dallas until that does.

In other words, Cowboys fans feel like their team has stood still while the NFL world moved on without them. This would be cause for discontent in any season but especially coming after the franchise got waxed by the Green Bay Packers at home in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Jones, responsible for all the decision-making, is very aware of the noise surrounding his team and attempted to defend his strategy days before the draft.
