Jerry Jones talks Cowboys Super Bowl drought and more moves in free agency or trade

The Dallas Cowboys are getting everything together for the NFL draft at the end of the month. However, the biggest elephant in the room these days is a new contract for All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons a new contract. Of course, that means team owner Jerry Jones will be heavily involved.

On Tuesday, Jones took some time to talk to the media. Various topics were discussed, but the comments by Jones on the Parsons deal are what took center stage. According to the boss in Dallas, he and Parsons have met privately for five or six hours, and serval key factors about his new contract have been “agreed to”, although there’s no deal yet.

Jones also mentioned that Parsons is one of three people who has his cell phone number. He also claimed that the former first-round pick asked for it. There’s plenty to unpack there, and it certainly will be dissected until the deal gets finalized. However, let’s get to some other things Jones said.

It’s no secret that there’s been frustration surrounding the Cowboys for three decades now. They haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1995. In fact, they haven’t even been to an NFC Championship Game during that time. For a franchise with so much history and tradition, it’s extremely mind-blowing how long it’s been since they’ve have upper level type of success on the field.

Despite the drought, Jones talked about how the Cowboys have ‘hung around the rim’ with being one of the most successful regular season teams over the last decade plus, and not making it past the second round since the 1990s isn’t something that he thinks about.

Another big topic of discussion in Dallas, and this is every year, is free agency. The Cowboys were very active during the first week, but they didn’t make any major splashes. There were some solid additions like linebacker Jack Sanborn, defensive lineman Solomon Thomas, and cornerback Kaiir Elam, who was acquired by trade.

There are still some quality guys left on the open market that could give the Cowboys a boost, and they fit the financial side of how the Cowboys operate, which is very frugal. When asked if any more moves in free agency will be done before the draft, Jones said yes.
