Jerry Jones on Jason Garrett contract: 'It's a nonevent for me'

IRVING, Texas -- Speaking on his weekly radio show, Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said the expiring contact of coach Jason Garrett isn't an issue, or to use his words, the status of his coach is a "nonevent for me."

Garrett has gone 8-8 in three consecutive seasons as the head coach, with his overall record at 31-27 in four seasons.

The Cowboys have yet to reach the postseason with Garrett as the coach, but the team is in first place in the NFC East at 7-3 heading into Sunday night's game against the New York Giants.

Garrett's contract ends after the 2014 season and neither his agent, David Dunn nor Jones have given any indications the sides are talking about a new deal.

Jones has said positive things about Garrett since he's been the head coach despite some issues with time management and the changes in the playcaller and defensive coordinator.

"It's a non-event for me to be concerned about it or not," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan Dallas/Fort Worth Friday. "I don't mean to sound that way; it hasn't been a concern of mine and [it's] not. We haven't made it a concern for the club this year. These talks about these contracts, no matter who it is, that's got an ending contract or one that is coming up, that's all for things to talk about that has no impact on my day."
