Cowboys owner Jerry Jones shares latest on Dak Prescott, Mike McCarthy

Elsewhere with the Dallas Cowboys, the contract situation of quarterback Dak Prescott has been heavily discussed this offseason but with the season opener just two days away, Jerry Jones is done talking about it.

Jones, speaking on 105.3 The Fan Friday, said ahead of Sunday’s Week 1 road contest against the Cleveland Browns that he has nothing to say concerning contract negotiations with Prescott.

“I won’t be discussing anything at all about Dak’s business or contract at this particular time,” Jones said, via Jon Machota of The Athletic.

The same goes for head coach Mike McCarthy who like Prescott, is working with one year left on his contract. Dallas previously announced McCarthy, who has led the Cowboys to three consecutive 12-5 seasons, wouldn’t receive a contract extension ahead of the 2024 campaign.
