Prescott, who led the league with 36 touchdown passes, said he is going into this season with a welcoming sense of relief knowing he will be well compensated wherever he plays next. 

"Obviously I want to be here," Prescott said. "I want to be here, but when you look up all the great quarterbacks I watched played for other teams. My point in saying that is that's not something to fear. That may be a reality for me one day. It may not be my decision. So that's the freedom that I have."

Jones was optimistic Prescott's ninth season with the Cowboys will not be his last before conceding the uncertainty ahead.

"Dak Prescott deserves the best and he's done a great job for the Dallas Cowboys and I do want him to do more great jobs for the Dallas Cowboys," Jones said.

Jones noted numerous contract disputes all over the league. Players likened Lamb's holdout to that of guard Zack Martin last year, when he received a reworked contract after missing three weeks of camp and the preseason opener. 

"In CeeDee Lamb, you're talking one of the best players we have ever had on this team," Jones said.

Parsons skipped most of the voluntary offseason program with the Dallas Cowboys after alluding to a culture problem for the team in the wake of a shocking wild-card loss to Green Bay in January.

"Zimm (Mike Zimmer) is just the shot that Micha needs because Zimm is no-nonsense and that will play well with Micha," Jones said.
