Cowboys news: Jerry Jones tries to walk back ‘paying coaches’ comments

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones defended his record on spending, stating that paying top dollar for successful coaches has never been an issue for the franchise. His remarks come after facing criticism for earlier comments questioning the correlation between the highest-paid coaches and winning championships. Jones maintained that he has previously attempted to lure high-profile coaches away from other teams with significant financial offers.

Elsewhere around the team, Dallas ruled out wide receiver KaVontae Turpin and rookie linebacker Malachi Lawrence for their matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Team executive Stephen Jones also indicated that Dallas could target a pass rusher ahead of the NFL trade deadline, while wide receiver CeeDee Lamb voiced frustration over recent offensive struggles under coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.
