If you have money, you can accomplish anything. This is typical thinking among everyone, and the famous billionaire Jerry Jones recently made a statement that was similar to this mindset. It is generally known how Jones climbed the ladder of success and now controls numerous assets. One of their assets is a team in the National Football League, the Dallas Cowboys. Recently, there have been several contract problems involving several of the team’s key players, about which, Jones spoke on a radio show.

If you don’t know, the millionaire appeared on 105.3 The Fan radio show. He discussed Dak Prescott and Ceedee Lamb’s contract resignation and how much capital the deal may be worth. Prescott’s deal is worth $240 million presently and is being considered for extension. The Dallas Cowboys have not been in the Super Bowl in 28 years, which is probably why they want Prescott on their side. The quarterback possesses the potential and talents that may help the Cowboys overcome their Super Bowl appearance streak.

Jerry Jones has big hopes for Prescott, but the contract signing is now being characterized as too late. Although this is a poor scenario, the Cowboys’ owner has said that he believes money can cure it. He claimed that no passion can be so powerful that money can justify it. And Jones stated, “I’ve never seen anybody get their feelings hurt enough that the money couldn’t cure.”

Jerry Jones may make Dak Prescott the highest-paid player in the NFL

The owner of the Dallas Cowboys was questioned on the radio broadcast about how much more Prescott’s deal was worth. Jones never answered the question directly, but he did give us a big hint. The billionaire initially acknowledged the query by stating, “I’m going to consider that a hypothetical because I’m not going to give you a straight answer to a pretty good question.”

After this, Jerry Jones even mentioned Troy Aikman and how the Dallas Cowboys made him the highest-paid player that season. He also mentioned how the squad won the Super Bowl during that season. He exclaimed, “But I will say this: When we made Troy Aikman the highest-paid player in the NFL, we won Super Bowls.”

This significant indication provided by the billionaire can only suggest that Prescott’s new deal can be worth more than $450 million. This is the amount of Patrick Mahomes’ contract, presently the highest-paid player.
