“For me, personally, just to finish these questions. I hope after today we’re done talking about it. I hope we can just move forward and focus on this team and the success that we plan to have. Obviously, in any negotiation, you meet in the middle. That’s what we did. I’m happy it’s done. I had an obligation to the league and to the other quarterbacks. It’s the way the league is going. For me, it just means that I was up next.”

“My only motivation is to hold up my part of this deal (win a Super Bowl). Just deliver that. I put the most pressure on myself. Simple as that. That’s my motivation. That’s what pushes me. Nobody is a bigger critic than I am personally. I expect greatness out of myself. There’s no added pressure. I wanted to be a Cowboy. I wanted to stay a Cowboy. Not thinking about anywhere else. I understand the business. I didn’t take anything personal (from Jerry Jones). I wasn’t upset. I wouldn’t have been upset if it didn’t get done.”
