Long-term contract negotiations between quarterback Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys have not come to fruition yet, but team owner Jerry Jones referenced the signal-caller in remarks made Saturday.

"When we're ready to play, he'll be there," Jones said regarding the impasse, per ESPN'sEd Werder.

Prescott could play this season with or without a long-term deal, as the Cowboys placed the exclusive franchise tag on the former Mississippi State star. That tag means that no other team can negotiate with Prescott.

Dallas and Prescott have until July 15 to work out a contract, but if not, Prescott would have to play this season on the tag with the Cowboys.
