Jerry Jones Discusses Ezekiel Elliott Contract Extension: 'I'm $100 Million Lighter'

The Cowboys and running back Ezekiel Elliott have agreed to a contract extension on Wednesday, but the deal certainly cost owner Jerry Jones a pretty penny.

Dallas' owner appeared on CNBC to discuss the five-year, $90 million extension on Tuesday and noted that he is "$100 million lighter" after the contract.

"Well, I just turned my pockets out upstairs, it means I'm $100 million lighter after this morning," Jones said. "But seriously, Zeke has been arguably our best player. ... We're glad to get him booked in, we're glad to have him on the team.
