Cowboys News: Jerry Jones says start of season is not a deadline for an Elliott deal, or any deal

Jerry Jones seems confident the Cowboys can enter the regular season without star running back Ezekiel Elliott.

Speaking on his radio show on KRLD-FM 105.3 the Fan, Jones said there is no deadline to get a deal done with Elliott even with Sept. 8 opener the New York Giants fast approaching.

“Not really at all,” Jones said. “A lot of things happen when we start missing games. You can miss games with injury, we have to be prepared. We have to be prepared to be without any given player. We very well may play without a player that is not coming in on his contract.
