Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones joined the K&C Masterpiece for the first time this season to talk about his expectations for the 2024 season, if he thinks the contracts (or lack therof) with Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy will raise the pressure on them, his thoughts on the rookies that'll be starting for the Cowboys in Week 1, and more.

00:00The last 24 to 48 hours, Rael Antin, the Vice President of Content for the Washington Commanders,

00:22was suspended and then fired because, among other things, he mocked the Commissioner and

00:28then mentioned you as the person who really runs the NFL, and then he said that, quote,

00:34you don't, excuse me, you hate gay and black people.

00:38What did you think about that statement and the NFL firing that person?

00:42I dismissed it immediately, didn't even think about it, seriously, seriously.

00:48It's so off-base and wrong, so I didn't give it any more thought at all, and I hope no

00:55one does, because it's ludicrous.

00:58Jerry, Dak said he wants to be here.

01:00I saw him yesterday say he wants to be here and he wants to win one here, because winning

01:04it here would be different than winning a Super Bowl anywhere else.

01:09Why do you think that winning a Super Bowl in Dallas would be different than anywhere

01:13else?

01:14Well, I think that Dak is looking at it from the perspective of his career and his tenure,

01:25and he's invested so much in what we're about, what we can be, and I completely understand

01:34that statement.

01:35I'm proud he feels that way, and I want that to come true.

01:40Have you spoken to Dak's representatives lately, and are you all far enough along to

01:44have discussed specific annual salaries?

01:46I won't be discussing anything at all about Dak's business or contract at this particular

01:53time.

01:54Okay, and with the state of McCarthy and Dak's contracts, do you feel like you're kind of

01:59sending a message to the team and to them to be on high alert, and how do you expect

02:04them to respond?

02:05Again, I want to include Mike in that little, I guess you call it, point I'm making is I

02:15don't think any good purpose can be for discussing those agreements, and I will say this.

02:24I couldn't be more satisfied with either one of them at all, and so that's not the issue.
