Darren McFadden News
Jerry wants another elite receiver
Jerry has been consistent with his claim that the Cowboys aren't interested in trading up into the top five to land Darren McFadden. He reiterated that when he chatted with Hall of Fame scribe Rick "Goose" Gosselin today at the owners' meetings in Florida.
Jerry's primary personnel goal is to give Tony Romo another elite target to complement T.O. and Jason Witten. And that doesn't necessarily mean relying on a rookie.
"There might be great value for our team with some of that collateral we have with those [first-round] picks," Jones said. "What if someone wants to give us a hell of a player that really fit and improved our offense? That's the kind of universe I can conjure up.
"We could set up here and get a premium receiver on the other side of Terrell and have a tandem."
How would Chad Johnson look on the other side of Owens? Or Anquan Boldin? Or Roy Williams? All are Pro Bowl wide receivers. Johnson is 30, Boldin 27 and Williams 26. All might be available when the Cowboys go on the clock at 28.
A first-round draft pick straight up for a Williams or a Boldin might look far more attractive to the Bengals or Lions when they're on the clock than it does today.
