The Cowboys just don’t get it.
The Dallas Cowboys are in Oxnard, California, which means they kicked off their first training camp of the Brian Schottenheimer era on Monday. While there’s a new coaching staff, it was the same old talking points at the kickoff press conference, with Jerry Jones fielding multiple questions about yet another superstar player whose contract negotiations are still ongoing after months of anticipation.
This time, though, Jones was specifically pressed by multiple reporters in attendance for his willingness to take his time on negotiations with players like Micah Parsons. At one point, he left everyone speechless when he implied regret for being aggressive in his early extensions for Trevon Diggs and Terence Steele.
Then, Jones elaborated a bit on his philosophy of dragging out contract extension talks, and the ramifications of it were the most alarming part of anything said on Monday.
