Of course, other teams have found a way to do this but Jones continues to act as if it&#8217;s impossible. He even has someone to blame, which naturally isn&#8217;t himself.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Jones is blaming the team&#8217;s quarterback, Dak Prescott. After being unable to get Prescott to take a &#8220;team-friendly&#8221; deal this offseason, Jones is now saying they&#8217;re limited in their flexibility due to his deal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_95410679\" class=\"article_chunk type_50\">\n<div class=\"froala-view custom-theme \">\n<p><em>\u201cBut you got a limit as to the availability of the cap (in the future) when you flip those switches. \u2026 You make your choices.
