Jerry Jones already has his plate full with the Dallas Cowboys and his other businesses. That said, his alleged daughter, Alexandra Davis, wanted him to acknowledge that he is her father. Something he has denied so far. However, a civil lawsuit Davis filed has taken a hit, after the presiding judge ruled in his favor.

Alexandra Davis had filed a lawsuit alleging that the settlement agreement contract between Jones and her mother Cynthia Davis was invalid. As she claims his contract to pay the Davises millions of dollars in exchange for her silence was not valid as per Texas law. However, as per Dallas Morning News, the judge ruled that the contract is valid. This means, that Cynthia Davis as a mother is allowed under Texas law to enter into such an agreement on behalf of her child.

This ruling favors Jerry Jones now that this case will head to a jury trial on 22nd July. The 81-year-old has maintained that he is not the father of Alexandra Davis. However, the very existence of the settlement agreement could potentially make it difficult for Jones.

Jones has also been ordered to undergo a DNA test by the Dallas County court. However, in light of this trial taking shape, that order has been put on hold. It is however not clear if one lawsuit’s judgement can have any impact on the other. Until then, the Dallas Cowboys owners have some sporting interests to look after.

Jerry Jones has important contracts to decide upon

The Dallas Cowboys have not done anything worthwhile in free agency. That has stifled their goals of contending for a Super Bowl to some degree. Even though Jerry Jones might not agree with it, America’s team has done nothing to show that the team is all in. On top of that, their two most important offensive contributors are staring at an uncertain future.

A future in which either they get long-term contracts, or they leave the team as free agents. Both Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb are on the clock with the Cowboys. So far, they have not received contracts which have piqued their interest. Moreover, with time ticking away, the two are in a better position to negotiate than the Cowboys.

However, it all could change to be in favor of the Cowboys. As Jerry Jones wants to wait and see how the two perform as the season progresses. He could walk away from both of them and look to build a new era starting next season.
