Jerry wants Dez on Cowboys' roster in 2018

INDIANAPOLIS -- Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones wants receiver Dez Bryant on the roster in 2018, but he offered up the endorsement with a qualifier in a near 50-minute conversation with reporters Saturday at the NFL scouting combine.

"As I sit here do we want him on the team next year?" Jones said. "The answer is yes."

To remove the qualifier, the Cowboys and Bryant will have to come to some kind of agreement regarding Bryant's contract. Bryant is set to make $12.5 million and count $16.5 million against the salary cap in 2018.
