Jerry Jones is the owner, president and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, and he doesn't have to answer to anyone when it comes to personnel decisions.
That was the case with the team's recent trade for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance in exchange for a fourth-round pick. Jones spoke about that in an interview with 105.3 The Fan (h/t Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk).
"The way we're structured gets a lot of criticism. Unquestionably, it does. But it lets us do a trade like we did the other day on Lance, because I didn't have to fool around.
