Jerry Jones spoke about offseason moves at the owner's meeting yesterday

Jerry Jones took the mic at the NFL Owners' Meeting in Arizona, where he addressed several key offseason topics with a mix of candor and calculated ambiguity. He confirmed the Cowboys exceeded their typical spending limits, acknowledging they've 'busted the budget' in relative terms, though he stopped short of admitting it outright—highlighting his trademark salesmanship. On the George Pickens situation, Jones sparked controversy with a comment suggesting Pickens could save money by negotiating directly with him, which was widely misinterpreted as a serious push to bypass agents. However, multiple sources confirmed Jones was joking, using a wink and playful tone, though the media spin—particularly by Mike Garofalo and Mike Florio—turned it into a headline about Jones trying to 'steal' Pickens from his agent. Jones also discussed the failed Max Crosby trade, emphasizing that the deal fell through due to medical concerns, not financial or interest issues, while subtly keeping the door open for a future reunion. On defense, he admitted the Cowboys have made no free agent moves in the linebacker room, but are actively pursuing trades and remain committed to improving that unit before the draft. Meanwhile, the podcast hosts dissected the performance of Jermod McCoy at the Tennessee Pro Day, praising his explosive athleticism despite concerns about his medical history and draft value at No. 12. The episode closes with a tease about Mark Cuban’s alleged call to Jason Kidd, hinting at a deeper NBA drama.
