Jerry Jones Gives Update On the Contract Talks with Ezekiel Elliott

Jones also noted on the pregame show that Elliott’s holdout doesn’t bother the organization.

“Not at all,” Jones said. “You know it is a marathon. It’s a long season, it’s a long career and so you don’t let a week or a month, you don’t let any of that, bother you and it goes on all the time.”

Jerry Jones is not worried about Ezekiel Elliott’s holdout: “You know that it’s a marathon. It’s a long season. It’s a long career. It goes on all the time. You work on this 12 months a year.” Jones added that they have 6-8 contract negotiations going on at all times
