Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott entered this past offseason with the hopes of securing a new, longterm deal with Dallas.
That new contract never came.
And now with Prescott suffering a serious leg injury in Sunday’s game against the Giants, Prescott faces an increasingly uncertain future as he heads into free agency.
While Prescott left the field on a cart to be taken to a nearby hospital, NFL fans couldn’t help but point at Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for costing Prescott the kind of financial security he deserved. Prescott ended up signing his franchise tender in June but failed to reach an agreement on a new contract with Dallas.
This awful situation, again, all circled back to Jones.
A lot of people have failed Dak Prescott this season.
None more than Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones.
None.

If Jerry Jones doesn’t take care of Dak Prescott after this season… I will no longer support the Dallas Cowboys as a fan. This man Dak is playing with no contract for 3 years now to “prove himself” and now his future is in Jeopardy. pic.twitter.com/X2v1V4luQH

Dak's injury just made me hate Jerry Jones even more. F Jerry.

Jerry Jones gets to see what life without Dak Prescott (who he clearly doesn’t fully appreciate) is like.
Then he will have to pay the man his money in the off season.

The Cowboys rallied to beat the Giants with Andy Dalton taking over at quarterback.
