When the Dallas Cowboys top headline focuses on rookie Caleb Downs and his jersey number, the dead news zone of the offseason must have arrived. The Downs news is centered around the No. 2, the jersey he wore at Ohio St., and the number currently belonging to cornerback Cobie Durant. Either Downs wants the number but doesn't seem willing to pay for it, or Durant isn't willing to give up the number. It's a story for sure but not the story of the day.
The real lead story is what Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones had to say about the Micah Parsons trade, after fulfilling all of the draft picks acquired. On Tuesday, Jones told Adam Schein on Mad Dog Sports Radio that they feel good about the trade, explaining why they didn't extend Parsons. "We had that opportunity there and didn't feel like we were one player away last year, but I certainly feel like we're putting the pieces together to give us an opportunity to go do what our fans deserve, what we want, which is to go try and win the big trophy."
The debate surrounding the Cowboys and Parsons will continue throughout the season, and ultimately can't be answered until either the Cowboys or Parsons win a Super Bowl. Then and only then can either side really say they were better off after the trade.
