As some may remember, the Dallas Cowboys and the Las Vegas Raiders were in serious talks about defensive end Maxx Crosby for a potential trade.
Eventually, Crosby was traded to the Baltimore Ravens , and the Ravens later canceled the trade because of claims that Crosby was still injured.
Jones said even though Crosby was still recovering from his injuries, the team was still interested in him.
"We did not walk away, that’s about all there is to say," Jones said via TV station KRGV . "We had understood his injury well. He is such a Raider, and we shouldn’t be having this kind of discussion."
If you read between the lines, it sounds like Jones is saying that they wanted Crosby, but maybe Crosby decided he'd rather remain a Raider.
Jones also dropped another bomb: he said the team is still considering another blockbuster trade to bolster its defense.
Maybe Jones was paying attention to what the LA Rams did this off-season by trading for Myles Garrett, and that made him realize if he ever wanted to see the Cowboys win another Super Bowl in his lifetime, he needed to make another major move.
Jones didn't say which team he is in talks with, but it sounds like the Cowboys' player-shopping spree is far from over. Who will they go after? Who knows, but Jones would love to retire knowing he brought the Cowboys their fourth Super Bowl under him and leave a legacy as one of the greatest owners in NFL history.
Stay tuned.
