Stephen Jones On Dez’s Status, La’el’s Role, Witten’s Future, Draft & More

ORLANDO, Fla. – Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones discussed a variety of Cowboys-related topics with reporters at the NFL Annual Meeting from Orlando. Some highlights:

  • Earlier this offseason, Jones said the Cowboys must "determine what is in the best interest of our business" with regard to veteran wide receiver Dez Bryant’s contract, which has a $16.5 million salary cap figure in 2018. Monday, Jones said the Cowboys still plan to sit down with Bryant but haven’t set up a meeting yet. “We’ll talk about Dez when it’s time,” he said.
  • Regarding the speculation over Bryant’s future with the team, Jones said the primary reason for signing wide receivers Allen Hurns and Deonte Thompson was creating competition and improving the overall offense.
