OXNARD, Calif. — Stephen Jones sat in a tent overlooking the Dallas Cowboys’ mock game on Tuesday and considered his dilemma.
The Cowboys executive vice president knew he and colleagues need to determine three key contractual futures.
Jones recognized, too, that strategizing the future for Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons is a good problem to face.
How many teams are racking their brains on how they’ll pay their homegrown 2016 fourth-round quarterback, their 2020 first-round wide receiver and their 2021 first-round edge rusher?
One.
Jones thought back to a favorite saying of his father, Cowboys team owner and general manager Jerry Jones.
