Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is unworried about Dak Prescott's contract situation, saying there was no timeframe to re-sign the quarterback.

Prescott has been in contract talks with the Cowboys and Dallas placed the exclusive franchise tag on the QB last month.

The 26-year-old had an 8-8 record last season despite throwing for a career-high 4,902 yards and 30 touchdowns as Dallas missed the playoffs.

The Cowboys have until mid-July to sign Prescott to a long-term deal, but Jones was unconcerned.

"I don't have a timeframe. It's not in a list of priorities as you could imagine with everything that we all are dealing with as well as what we're doing with the draft," Jones said during a conference call on Tuesday.

"I don't have the timeframe, but I'm not concerned about that at all as to any of those issues. Again, no surprises here. No surprise on the amount that the franchise counts against the [cap], and no surprise we're sitting here relative to where we are without a long-term agreement.

"What is the issue here and the challenge is how do we have communication with everyone and do the best we can with what we've got and what the league is doing as it pertains to getting our team ready.

"Dak is very much a part of that."
