Jerry Jones Issues Warning After Cowboys Win
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones delivered a blunt warning following a 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders, stating via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, “Nothing more dangerous than an old man with money.” Jones labeled the statement his quote of the day as he met with reporters with renewed energy after his team bounced back from an early-season struggle against the New York Giants.
According to the team’s website, Jones admitted that an 0-2 start would have made media availability difficult. “I can’t say that I was a color of strength in my mentality coming into the game because I’ve got a lot of respect for the coaching over on the Washington Commanders side,” Jones said, while praising head coach Brian Schottenheimer and the coaching staff for securing the vital win.
Dak Prescott Sets Franchise Milestone
Quarterback Dak Prescott fueled the offensive surge by throwing four touchdown passes against Washington.

Statistically, Prescott also stands as the organization’s all-time leader in passing yards with 35,989, while his 83 wins leave him 11 victories shy of the 94 wins jointly held by Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach, per the sources. Despite those regular-season achievements, the franchise has endured a postseason drought, leaving Prescott with a 2-5 playoff record as the team prepares to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3.
Roster Management and Near Misses
Beyond the active roster, the franchise has navigated complex personnel decisions. According to ESPN’s Todd Archer, the Cowboys showed high interest in Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby when he entered the supplemental draft following gambling issues involving impermissible bets. However, the NFL ultimately declined to hold a supplemental draft, denying Sorsby eligibility.
On the active depth chart, Jones offered insight into maintaining quarterback depth behind Prescott, hinting to ESPN that the team might retain both Sam Howell and Joe Milton on the 53-man roster rather than making a definitive cut, as reported by Marca. Schottenheimer previously described the competition between Howell and Milton as neck and neck during training camp.
