What happened: Jones described Dallas as “in play” for an addition in comments on 105.3 The Fan. The stance sets the club’s personnel priority as Week 1 arrives.
Why it matters: Fresh cap flexibility could help Dallas absorb a veteran contract. Early games will show where defensive help is most pressing before the club commits trade assets.
By the numbers: A $19 million cap move expanded Dallas’ room to pursue a deal.
What to watch: Watch whether early defensive results turn that interest into trade talks.
