Jerry Jones talked about his all-in analysis from the Indianapolis NFL Combine as well as a lot more.
Jerry Jones stated precisely these things on January 30th, from the Senior Bowl.
“I would anticipate — with looking ahead at our key contracts that we’d like to address — we will be all in. I would anticipate we will be all in at the end of this year. So when you say is there any thought…we will push the hell out of it.”
“It will be going all in on different people than you’ve done in the past. We will be going all in. We’ve seen some things out of some of the players that we want to be all in on. Yes, I would say that you will see us this coming year not build it for the future. It’s the best way I’ve ever said. And that ought to answer a lot of questions.”
The playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers was just over two weeks old at the time. Fans were unruly. People wanted change, significant change at that. Sensing a need to appease his fans, the Dallas Cowboys owner, president and general manager offered a promise.
With free agency now a week and a half way, the Cowboys are/were facing the reality of needing to live up to said promise. Perhaps aware that no behavior that is commonly associated with “all-in” verbiage in the world of sports, Stephen Jones did his best to provide some cover on the topic while speaking at the NFL Combine this week
But that was/is Stephen. Until Jerry Jones spoke again there remained the faintest of possibilities that this offseason might be the one where Dallas decides to pry themselves from the wall in the gym to get on the floor and finally dance. Hope as they say, is a dangerous thing.
Jerry Jones finally did speak and did so on Friday night, perhaps in an appropriately-timed Friday evening news dump. This is admittedly an assumption, but Jerry is accusing people of making them when it comes to his comments from a month ago. According to Jerry, going all-in can mean different things to different people.
What is “all in”? Cowboys owner Jerry Jones: “Your definition of what is all in and mine might not be the same thing, but I’m trying to win the games this year with my decision. So I’m all in to this year.”
