But maybe the most important part of the conversation was the quotes that Tommy Yarrish from the official Cowboys website highlighted.

"We have continual contract negotiations going on," Jones said. "I know you have Micah at the front of mind, but we're continually working on contracts and all clubs are. So I don't necessarily put a big red letter beside any time that we've completed contract negotiations, but I'm appreciative when we do," Jones told the media.
