Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones says he understands the increasing value QB Dak Prescott has commanded as time stretched on.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who long told players to stand “toe on the line” during national anthem, said Friday his players’ opinions are diverse.

By keeping numbers and player names off uniforms, new Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy is keeping any intel as close to the vest as possible.

As players and coaches hold discussions after the Jacob Blake shooting, the Cowboys are still evaluating a number of possible actions.

Appearing on a local radio show, Dallas Cowboys VP Stephen Jones did not back NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s stance on Colin Kaepernick’s protests.

After Jacob Blake was shot seven times by a police officer, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said, “You can’t escape what’s going on right now.”

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said earlier this month that after his “toe on the line,” no-kneeling stance previously, he hadn’t decided on a 2020 policy.

Aldon Smith hasn’t played in a regular-season NFL game since 2015, but the new Cowboys defensive end isn’t showing any rust at training camp.

One of the Dallas Cowboys’ marquee offseason signings won’t see the field this year, as Gerald McCoy suffered a torn quad tendon.

Though his wife is due to give birth in October, Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawrence wasn’t among the NFL players to opt out of the upcoming season.
