Jerry Jones, who has a net worth of more than $14 billion, acknowledges that he was unable to buy all he desired.
Jerry Jones is one of the richest people in the world and the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, with a net worth of over $14 billion..
Over the course of his business career, the 81-year-old has gradually increased his wealth. Although a person of his wealth could buy anything, the owner of the Cowboys has some intriguing thoughts on this.
On Thursday, he answered questions from media about the Dallas Cowboys and their aspirations while they were in training camp.
"In my life, there have been a lot of things I wanted but I couldn't get because I couldn't afford it. Have I learned to live with that in 80 something years, I have. And life does go on"

Laurie Horesh of ESPN saw these remarks made by Jones following his discussion regarding Dak Prescott and his disclosure of them via his official X account. I’ve wanted a lot of things in the past, but I was never able to afford them.
After a setback such as that, occasionally you bounce back and do better than you would have if you had achieved your desired outcome. These remarks imply that the owner/general manager is undecided about whether to extend the contract of his starting quarterback.
What he was alluding to is the real question. It’s possible that he believes that the Dallas Cowboys, or at least he, won’t be able to afford extending Dak Prescott at this time due to rising costs.
Before attempting to negotiate the wage, he would prefer to wait and see how the season plays out. Alternatively, it can indicate that he might have to select or acquire a new quarterback for the upcoming campaign.
In any case, he has stated unequivocally that he cannot afford to pay Prescott what he demands if he wants the team to be competitive both now and in the near future.
