IRVING, Texas – Below are highlights from today’s hour-long pre-draft press conference at Valley Ranch featuring Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones, executive vice president Stephen Jones and head coach Jason Garrett:
- Jerry Jones said he’s not concerned with Dez Bryant missing voluntary offseason workouts while technically not under contract because he hasn’t signed his franchise tender offer. Garrett said he’s been in contact with Bryant this offseason, and the club is very pleased with his growth as a player and person.
- Jones said “by hook or crook” the draft must improve the Cowboys’ defense.
