Near the end of Saturday’s news conference, Stephen Jones insinuated that the Cowboys were in active discussions with veteran free agents.
“Actually, we were on the phone with a couple guys here (recently), trying to get our numbers right, looking at guys who can come in here and help us that might be veteran-type players versus the college players. This is a busy time for us right now. I just see our roster continuing to evolve and will continue to get better.”
The hope of course is that they are indeed talking to “veterans” (plural) and not just Ezekiel Elliott, but starting these conversations now would line up well with how the Cowboys have largely done business in years past.
