Eagles legend rips Cowboys' Jerry Jones for Bill Belichick, Dak Prescott comments

Philadelphia Eagles legend Donovan McNabb ripped Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones for recent comments Jones offered about current head coach Mike McCarthy, free-agent coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Dak Prescott. 

According to Ryan Morik of Fox News Digital, McNabb said on the latest edition of his "The Five Spot" podcast that Jones' words following Dallas' 48-32 wild-card playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers were "not really supporting his head coach" or Prescott. 

"As a former quarterback, that’s not full support of having a guy as the face of your franchise and a guy who really takes all of the bullets when it comes to negative conversation about the Dallas Cowboys," McNabb explained. "He never showed the full support for Dak Prescott."

While Jones said this week that it made "sense" to keep McCarthy and Prescott together largely because of how the signal-caller has played under his current coach across the past several seasons, the outspoken owner later raised eyebrows when he insisted he "wouldn’t have any problem working with" Belichick. Jones also said that "We will go as far as Dak takes us" before the owner pointed out that the wild-card defeat "is how far we went." 

The McCarthy-Prescott duo is now 1-3 in postseason play. 

Both McCarthy and Prescott are set to be out of contract after next season, but the Cowboys are expected to sign the 30-year-old to some type of extension sooner rather than later to lower his salary-cap hit for 2024. As for Belichick, every team that had a head-coaching vacancy from this past fall through Thursday passed on hiring the 71-year-old, but whispers suggesting that Belichick could end up with the Kansas City Chiefs if Andy Reid retires after Super Bowl LVIII aren't quieting down ahead of the big game. 

Reid turns 66 years old in March and is looking to guide the Chiefs to a third Super Bowl title since February 2020.
