Dak Prescott understands fan frustration at Jerry Jones's natural-gas distraction

Our Summary
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has sparked discussion with recent comments indicating he is prioritizing his natural-gas business over addressing the team's struggling defense. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Jones cited a "$100 billion present value with gas" as the reason for his focus. This statement has raised questions among fans and analysts, given Jones's dual role as both owner and General Manager of the Cowboys.
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott acknowledged the potential frustration fans might feel regarding Jones's comments. Prescott noted that while he did not have full context, he understood why fans dedicated to the team could be concerned by Jones's apparent shift in priorities.
Jones's role as both owner and General Manager is unique in the NFL, where General Managers typically focus exclusively on team management. The controversy underscores ongoing debate about Jones's management style and whether he should consider hiring a dedicated General Manager to focus on the team's performance.
