Cowboys Headlines: Jerry Jones doesn't pass up chance to talk trade
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke at the owners meeting about potentially adding another piece to his team while also addressing the Troy Aikman saga
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed his disappointment with the team's 2-4 record during the NFL owners meeting in New York City. Despite acknowledging the frustration, Jones is not prepared to give up on the season. He mentioned the possibility of making roster improvements before the November 10 trade deadline.
Jones also addressed the contract dispute between former quarterback Troy Aikman and his on-air partner, Joe Buck, as well as the media conglomerate ESPN. The owner's optimistic outlook may be fueled by the division's lack of a clear favorite. Washington head coach Dan Quinn is under pressure due to his decision-making, while New York's acquisition of QB J.J. McCarthy creates uncertainty.
Philadelphia recently lost several players and faces potential government scrutiny. The Cowboys' community mourns the loss of Pro Bowl and Super Bowl champion Cornell Green, who passed away at 86. Green was a key player in the "Doomsday Defense" during his 13-year tenure with the Cowboys.
In other news, Lions tight end Sam LaPorta may be left out of Detroit's plans as contract negotiations stall. Packers running back Josh Jacobs is set to return to action, but continues to face NFL discipline over an off-field incident. Titans head coach Robert Saleh defended released defensive tackle Jordan Elliott, who brought a gun into the locker room.
The overall news cycle highlights Jones' commitment to adding talent before the trade deadline, while also addressing past mistakes and current challenges facing the Cowboys and other NFL teams.
