Stephen Jones, the Dallas Cowboys' executive vice president, is balancing his role in the league meetings with ongoing roster improvements ahead of the NFL draft. After a busy start to free agency, making 10 acquisitions, he is strategizing to ensure the team can select the best player available at the No. 12 draft pick. Jones is exploring more trades, having already made two significant ones. He emphasizes flexibility in decisions rather than strictly filling positional needs, and the league meetings offer opportunities for trade discussions with other teams.
Part of what we do in free agency is to make it to where hopefully there's a great player sitting there with each pick that we really like.
We've got several things we're looking at from a trade standpoint, but certainly not to the point where we have a deal yet.
It's a good opportunity to sit down and visit. It's like a negotiation. It can happen quick or it can take time to marinate.
We don't want to be nailed down to, 'Hey, it's got to be a defensive lineman or it's got to be a receiver.'
