Cowboys owner Jerry Jones explains why he made Dak Prescott highest-paid  player in NFL

Dallas Cowboys fans have faced disappointment time and again. They have only four playoff wins in the last 25 years, drawing them further away from the Super Bowl, and losing on the big stage is becoming an all-too-familiar feeling.

This year, America’s Team saw another season, another missed opportunity, and another round of head-scratching comments from team owner Jerry Jones despite the awful display.

Jerry Jones’ Shocking Comment on Dallas Cowboys and QB Dak Prescott

This time, Jones called it a “shocker” that the Cowboys aren’t in the Super Bowl despite their struggles throughout the 2024 season. However, the real kicker for the NFL community came when he claimed that he wouldn’t have signed Dak Prescott to that record-setting deal if he thought this would be the result.

 

“This is a shocker to be here at this Super Bowl and not have the Cowboys here,” Jones told The Athletic’s Dianna Russini during Super Bowl week. “I wouldn’t have signed Dak Prescott, the highest-paid player in the NFL if now wasn’t when we wanted to win. I didn’t plan on that when I made that agreement with him.”

According to Spotrac, Prescott signed a four-year, $240 million contract with the Cowboys, which included an $80 million signing bonus and $231 million guaranteed. His deal carries an average annual salary of $60 million. In 2025, he is set to earn a base salary of $47.75 million, while his cap hit will skyrocket to $89.89 million with a dead cap value of $151.88 million.

The numbers are massive, but it’s a bold statement from Jones, considering how the 2024 season played out. Prescott got hurt, the offense struggled, and Mike McCarthy’s contract situation became so awkward that he walked away.

On top of that, let’s not forget the offseason, where Jerry promised to go “all in” and then barely made a splash in free agency. As a result, the Cowboys team never found its footing, with an aging offensive line and a defense that took a step back after Dan Quinn’s exit.

Now, Jones has turned to Brian Schottenheimer, who was promoted from OC to head coach in a move that no one outside of Dallas finds inspiring. He’s focused on locking in Micah Parsons long-term, but when it comes to spending big in free agency- he has often taken the same cautious approach that’s left Cowboys fans frustrated for decades.

Jones, however, is optimistic once again. He expects the 2025 offseason to “be in line” with previous years, prioritizing a new deal for Micah Parsons. If history repeats itself, the Cowboys will sit back in free agency, let Parsons’ price rise, and once again fail to make the aggressive moves needed to truly compete.

The Cowboys’ fans must now hope that Jones’ promises come to fruition this time and that the Cowboys aren’t left watching from home when Super Bowl LX rolls around.
