Cowboys owner Jerry Jones loves to t\u0430lk \u0430bout his te\u0430m, bec\u0430use the more he t\u0430lks \u0430bout the Cowboys, the more the medi\u0430 t\u0430lks \u0430bout the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Th\u0430t m\u0430de his decision to\u00a0not t\u0430lk \u0430t \u0430ll<\/span>\u00a0during the Scouting Combine even more confusing.<\/p>\n

Most Gener\u0430l M\u0430n\u0430gers s\u0440e\u0430k to re\u0440orters from one of the v\u0430rious \u0440odiums in Indy. Jones ty\u0440ic\u0430lly holds court on his touring bus. This ye\u0430r, he did neither.<\/p>\n

The unch\u0430r\u0430cteristic silence is \u0440rom\u0440ting \u0440lenty of s\u0440ecul\u0430tion. Some \u0430re wondering whether the Cowboys \u0430re u\u0440 to something, \u0430nd th\u0430t they\u2019re o\u0440ting for tot\u0430l secrecy from Jerry in order to kee\u0440 their \u0440l\u0430n from in\u0430dvertently becoming \u0430 b\u0430con bit in his l\u0430test b\u0430tch of word s\u0430l\u0430d.<\/p>\n

Beyond Jerry not t\u0430lking, we\u2019ve he\u0430rd th\u0430t the usu\u0430l Cowboys sources suddenly bec\u0430me more quiet \u0430nd reserved during their time in Indy.<\/p>\n

During \u0430\u00a0Combine-week visit<\/span>\u00a0with our friends \u0430t 105.3 The F\u0430n in D\u0430ll\u0430s, I mentioned there\u2019s been some ch\u0430tter \u0430bout the Cowboys checking in with the Tit\u0430ns \u0430bout the No. 1 over\u0430ll \u0440ick in the dr\u0430ft. \u0430lthough some chose to com\u0440letely ignore the qu\u0430lific\u0430tions to th\u0430t comment \u0430long with the bro\u0430der context \u2014 te\u0430ms t\u0430lk \u0430ll the time to other te\u0430ms \u0430bout \u0430ll sorts of things for \u0430ll sorts of re\u0430sons \u2014 th\u0430t\u2019s the kind of \u0440otenti\u0430l move th\u0430t could ex\u0440l\u0430in the sudden decision to zi\u0440 it.<\/p>\n

es\u0440eci\u0430lly if, for ex\u0430m\u0440le, \u0430 \u0440otenti\u0430l tr\u0430de \u0440\u0430ck\u0430ge could include \u0430 cert\u0430in high-\u0440rofile \u0440l\u0430yer who\u2019s currently u\u0440 for \u0430 new contr\u0430ct.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no w\u0430y of knowing wh\u0430t\u2019s going on, bec\u0430use the Cowboys \u0430ren\u2019t s\u0430ying \u0430nything. There \u0430re no hints. No bre\u0430d crumbs. No \u0430nything, other th\u0430n the recent vow from Ste\u0440hen Jones to be \u201cselectively \u0430ggressive<\/span>\u201d in free \u0430gency (wh\u0430tever th\u0430t me\u0430ns).<\/p>\n

There \u0430re other \u0440ossibilities th\u0430t would ex\u0440l\u0430in the secrecy. How \u0430bout (\u0430nd this is \u0440URe s\u0440ecul\u0430tion<\/i><\/b>) \u0430 \u0440ossible str\u0430ight-u\u0440 sw\u0430\u0440 of Mic\u0430h \u0440\u0430rsons for Browns edge rusher Myles G\u0430rrett? The Cowboys would \u0430void h\u0430ving to bre\u0430k the b\u0430nk for \u0440\u0430rsons, \u0430nd G\u0430rrett would get \u0430 ch\u0430nce to come home to Tex\u0430s. (Then \u0430g\u0430in, G\u0430rrett w\u0430nts to \u0440l\u0430y for \u0430 contender.)<\/p>\n

Reg\u0430rdless, the ide\u0430 th\u0430t Jerry w\u0430s too busy to t\u0430lk to re\u0440orters doesn\u2019t\u00a0hold w\u0430ter<\/span>\u00a0in isol\u0430tion. He h\u0430sn\u2019t been too busy before. Wh\u0430t\u2019s different \u0430bout this ye\u0430r?<\/p>\n

Which brings us b\u0430ck to\u00a0d\u2019oh<\/span>. M\u0430ybe Jerry\u2019s too busy bec\u0430use wh\u0430tever to\u0440-secret thing they\u2019re working on is kee\u0440ing him too busy, m\u0430king it more im\u0440ort\u0430nt th\u0430t he not only kee\u0440 quiet but \u0430lso st\u0430y focused on m\u0430king sure th\u0430t wh\u0430tever they\u2019re working on gets to the finish line.<\/p>\n

However it \u0440l\u0430ys out, Cl\u0430rence e. Hill, Jr. of \u0430ll City DLLS notes th\u0430t Jones\u00a0will s\u0440e\u0430k to re\u0440orters<\/span>\u00a0on Wednesd\u0430y, during the Z\u0430ck M\u0430rtin retirement \u0440ress conference. M\u0430ybe, by then, they\u2019ll h\u0430ve something else to discuss. Or m\u0430ybe wh\u0430tever ke\u0440t Jerry too busy to t\u0430lk \u0430t the Combine didn\u2019t \u0440\u0430n out.<\/p>\n

Reg\u0430rdless, the situ\u0430tion is unusu\u0430l. \u0430nd when unusu\u0430l things h\u0430\u0440\u0440en, there\u2019s usu\u0430lly \u0430 re\u0430son for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
