Jerry Jones: I Wouldn't Have Signed Dak Prescott Contract If Cowboys Weren't Win-Now

Julia StumbaughFeb 7, 2025

Jerry Jones says the decision to sign Dak Prescott to a four-year, $240 million contract last September was a sign the Dallas Cowboys are a win-now team.

"I wouldn't have signed Dak Prescott, the highest-paid player in the NFL, if now wasn't when we wanted to win," Jerry told The Athletic's Dianna Russini ahead of Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. "This is a shocker, to be here at this Super Bowl, and not have the Cowboys here. I didn't plan on that when I made that agreement.

"So we're going to do everything we can do get there... I know what it takes to get there, and we'll do those things."
