If the Dallas Cowboys do not sign a new contract with quarterback Dak Prescott this year, it will not be for lack of money.
The Dallas Morning News reports that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is “winning the jackpot” thanks to this week’s terrible winter storm in Texas, which left millions of people without power.
Frisco-based natural gas producer, owned by Dallas billionaire Jerry Jones, is profiting from an increase in fuel prices, while a brutal freeze hits the center of the US … Comstock Resources Inc. has managed to sell gas of its shale wells in Haynesville in eastern Texas and northern Louisiana with premium prices since Thursday.

According to Pro Football Talk, this looks like “good news for Jones, who two years ago had a total investment of $ 1.1 billion in Comstock. His oil and gas company has become the leading producer in one of the largest natural gas basins in the country. “
If Cowboys choose not to sign a long-term contract with Prescott, they can put the franchise brand on it for the second year in a row. But that comes with a price tag of nearly $ 40 million, which would be a significant part of Dallas’ 2021 salary cap.
