Let this quote from Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones marinate in your mind for a minute.
“The truth is most anything that I’ve ever been involved in that ended up being special, I overpaid for, every time, to the end,” Jones said last month. “Anytime I’ve tried to get a bargain, I got just that, it was a bargain in a lot of ways and not up to standard.”
Jones made this statement upon signing quarterback Dak Prescott to the most lucrative contract in franchise history while making him the second-highest player in NFL history.
