OH MY! 😨 BREAKING NEWS: DAK PRESCOTT LEAVES DALLAS! JERRY JONES CUT SPENDING! COWBOYS NEWS 🚨
– Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones recently said he’s about to “go “all in.” Micah Parsons responded with a subtle criticism of how the Dallas front office didn’t “go out.”
And now it seems we have a meeting of the minds, as Parsons is revealing details of a lengthy visit he had with the team owner in Las Vegas during the Superr Bowl – inside a suite at Allegiant Stadium as the Chiefs were beating the 49ers in OT – regarding “the future of our team.”
Earlier this year at the Senior Bowl, Jerry Jones declared the Cowboys front office would go “all-in” this offseason. But so far, the offseason has been largely uneventful. Dallas has also not been particularly active in the free agent market.
The Cowboys roster already features a fair number of players on the roster who already carry sizable salary cap hits. The franchise is also weighing lucrative contract extensions for some of their key players. But, Jones, the longtime Cowboys owner and general manager, shouldered the blame for the lack of progress on the contracts.
“If you’ve got trouble with when the timing is around here,” Jones said, “it’s because I’m not ready to go.”
Quarterback Dak Prescott, star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and linebacker Micah Parsons are among the star players who are in line to land big pay days. Prescott has handled the starting quarterback duties for the past eight seasons.
The 30-year-old’s contract expires after the 2024 season. He recently hinted that negotiations with the Cowboys have yet to kick off, but he added that he and Jones were “aligned” about where things stood.
“Honestly, I’m focused on the moment, on the now,” Prescott said. “If the talks begin and real talks get to happen, sure, we can talk about getting that done, but in this case right now I’m worried about getting better, being better than I am at this moment. So leaving that up to my agent and Jerry at this point.”
Meanwhile, Lamb is set to play in the upcoming season under his fifth-year option. He could receive the franchise tag designation next year. Parsons, a three-time All-Pro, remains under his rookie contract, but he is eligible for the franchise tag after the 2025 season.
