Dak Prescott has been getting some bad press this offseason, having become the subject of a disturbing allegation.
The Cowboys quarterback stands accused of having sexually assaulted a woman outside of a strip club in Dallas back in 2017. He has denied the claims and has since sued his accuser for extortion.
Investigators are said to be looking into both matters.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has addressed the troubling circumstances this week. Jones was asked about the allegations at the owners’ meeting in Orlando, Florida, and confirmed that the team is aware of what’s going on while he’s not uncomfortable with it.
“We are very knowledgeable of it,” he was quoted as saying by Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News. “Of anybody, I can say you work through the legal aspects of it. So, very aware of it. Not uncomfortable with it in any way. Hate it that the issue has to have any negative aspect to it all for everybody concerned. I can say that we’re just very aware of the details and very comfortable.”
