ARLINGTON, TX – Micah 40, Jerry 40.

The wild drama at AT&T Stadium on Sunday night would not have been complete without a few more not-so-subtle jabs from Micah Parsons and Jerry Jones.

Overtime just wasn’t enough.

So, during his traditional postgame media buffet outside the locker room, the Dallas Cowboys owner set the record straight on why he made quarterback Dak Prescott the highest-paid player in NFL history with a $60 million-per-year deal and ultimately shipped Parsons to the Green Bay Packers rather than signing the premier pass-rusher to another type of record contract.

"It’s very simple," Jones said. "Dak was indispensable in my mind … and Micah wasn’t."
