Cowboys' Dak Prescott says he doesn't listen to what Jerry Jones says as contract talks stall

Eric Aaberg is a former Dallas Cowboys mascot. Aaberg was 'Rowdy' during the 2022-23 season and told Fox News Digital how he got the role and what fans may not know about mascots.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott lets anything Jerry Jones says go in one ear and out the other, if he even hears it at all. 

Prescott told reporters Thursday he often disregards whatever Jones says when asked about the owner's recent comments about a potential contract extension or replacement strategy for the quarterback. 

"I stopped, honestly, listening to things (Jerry Jones) says to the media a long time ago. It doesn’t really hold weight with me," Prescott said, via The Athletic.

Prescott's response came when he was asked about comments Jones had made a day earlier when Jones was asked about the state of contract negotiations between the two sides. Prescott is going into the final year of his contract and is scheduled to become a free agent in 2025. 

"Dak’s situation right now for me has more to do with our situation than it does with the merits of Dak Prescott being the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys," Jones told reporters. 

Jones was also asked if the team had a "Plan B" for Prescott, since the team has no quarterback under contract in 2025. 

"Contracts isn't the end-all solution, and some of the best decisions that I've been a part of with the Cowboys have been when we didn't have contracts one way or the other, with a player on our team or some other team," Jones said.
