Jones recently made a $1 billion investment in Comstock Resources, a natural gas company.
He candidly shared that he is spending more time focusing on that deal than he is working on the Cowboys roster.
“There’s $100 billion present value with gas out there,” Jones told the Wall Street Journal.
“That’s why I’m talking to you on the telephone rather than trying to fix our defense with the Dallas Cowboys.”
Those comments quickly got around to Jones’ players, who were clearly left upset by them.
Dak Prescott spoke out about them ahead of Week 9.
“I don’t know the full context of it,” Prescott said.
“I do know a piece of it. But being a fan and you just hear that or read that, yeah, of course… That can definitely be frustrating.

“But in that sense, I would just say, the guy has never really lied about who he is or what he’s trying to do.
“Hopefully he was talking about in that one particular moment.
“Maybe in those five minutes is what he was alluding to, and having a chance at a $100 billion opportunity I think you might take five minutes as well to answer a call.
“Hopefully that’s what he means, right? But I could see how it could be frustrating.
“For us as players, we control what we can control. That doesn’t pertain to us right now.
“Our job is to make sure that we’re getting ready for Monday night and that we’re gonna be the best team we can be when we go play the Cardinals.”

“Jerry is out of his mind,” a third fan said.
“Jerry Jones will die before he ever lets go of the general manager role,” a fourth fan said.
