Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sat down with one of the organization’s biggest critics in an interview that was released on YouTube on Wednesday night.
Jones spoke with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith during an hour-long conversation as part of a special edition of the “Stephen A. Smith Show” that touched on everything from the CeeDee Lamb drama, negotiations with star quarterback Dak Prescott and the perception that Jones cares more about money than winning.
“There was never any question about how we felt CeeDee Lamb was as a football player or what he could do to help out this team,” Jones said. “I don’t see any rewards or penalties on your timer on ‘Does he get on the field or is he on the field when he better be out there.’ I had no urgency at all about getting him to the field.
“What he is as a person and as a quarterback will age well,” the Cowboys owner said. “I think it will age well as he moves into the next five or ten years of his life. I think he’s the kind of quarterback that gets better and better.”Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb reacts towards the crowd during an NFL football team practice Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2024, in Frisco, Texas.
