Why Cowboys' Jerry Jones is OK with Earl Thomas wanting his payday

Kevin Sherrington, sports columnist for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the Cowboys in a live chat recently. Here are some of the highlights.

Question: Saw Earl Thomas in Players Tribune today. Will Jerry and Cowboys be wary to sign a player who stands up for what he believes in like Earl? Or would it not matter by time they sign since he'd have the deal he's fighting for now?

Sherrington: The difference, in this case, is that Earl is standing up for himself, not principles. Jerry gets it.
