RT DAX SPEAKS OUT: Dak Prescott’s Emotional Message After Jerry Jones’ Controversial Remarks Shakes Cowboys Nation 💥🏈

In case you missed it, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was recently interviewed by The Wall Street Journal about his $1 billion investment on Comstock Resources. The business story quickly became a Cowboys one due to a viral quote he offered, which strongly suggested his priority was the oil business over his football team.
“There’s $100 billion present value with gas out there,” Jones said. “That’s why I’m talking to you on the telephone rather than trying to fix our defense with the Dallas Cowboys.”
The way I described it in my reaction column was basically: Sure, a $100 billion opportunity should be anyone’s priority. But no other NFL general manager is treating his football team like a part-time job. Hire someone if you’re not willing to do it.
Inevitably, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was asked about the whole thing on Thursday, one day after the publication of the article. His response was a reasonable one. While he tried to put himself on Jones’ shoes as well, he mostly empathized with fans frustrated at the quote.
“I don’t know the full context of it,” Prescott told reporters ahead of Week 9, via DLLS Cowboys. “I do know a piece of it. But being a fan and you just hear that or read that, yeah, of course. That can definitely be frustrating. But in that sense, I would just say, the guy has never really lied about who he is or what he’s trying to do.”
Prescott then added Jerry might have been talking about that moment and that moment only.
“Hopefully he was talking about that one particular moment,” Dak added. “Maybe in those five minutes is what he was alluding to, and having a chance at a $100 billion opportunity I think you might take five minutes as well to answer a call. Hopefully that’s what he means, right? But I could see how it could be frustrating.”
Whether Jones was truly focused on the team or not matters little to Prescott and the Cowboys roster, he says. For them, it’s all about facing the 2-5 Arizona Cardinals and making sure to get back on the win column. Whatever ownership says or does is out of their control.
“For us as players, we control what we can control,” Prescott said. “That doesn’t pertain to us right now. Our job is to make sure that we’re getting ready for Monday night and that we’re gonna be the best team we can be when we go play the Cardinals.”
