IRVING, Texas – NFL rules don’t allow Cowboys executives to discuss players under contract with other clubs. That’s why, despite constant speculation that Dallas might attempt to trade for Adrian Peterson, you haven’t heard any members of the team’s front office talk about it directly.
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones addressed the situation indirectly on Tuesday, however, as the front office continues to gear up for next week’s NFL draft. In an interview with 105.3 The Fan, Jones was asked about the possibility of trading some of the Cowboys’ seven draft picks in exchange for a running back – an obvious allusion to a potential deal for Peterson.
