Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has tried to negotiate the delicate question of whether he directly negotiates with players.After Thursday night’s preseason finale Womens Joe Looney 2019 Jersey , Jones addressed with reporters a dynamic that has been hiding in plain sight for years, but that finally has resulted in scrutiny of the Cowboys: The habit of circumventing agents to sell potential contract offers to players.“Let me be real clear about something, I don’t negotiate with players,” Jones said, via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. “I share with players my thoughts about our team and about why I have the position I have.
