Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones is doing his best to downplay any potential interest the team might have in trading for Adrian Peterson.
During an interview with 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday, Jones was careful not to specifically address Peterson or commit a tampering violation. However, he did say that he doesn’t envision a trade of that nature happening.
“I don’t see us using any picks to trade for veteran ballplayers,” Jones said, via Drew Davison of the Forth Worth Star-Telegram.
Jones, who is the son of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, was also asked if the Cowboys would be interested in trading for a running back rather than drafting one now that DeMarco Murray has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles.
