Stephen Jones: Looking At Veteran Free Agent RBs Not A Priority Right Now

IRVING, Texas – As if it wasn’t obvious, the Cowboys’ future at running back is a popular topic of conversation this week – a fact that was heavily emphasized by the team’s season ticket holders.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones held a conference call with season ticket holders on Wednesday, four days removed from the 2015 NFL Draft, and handled a bevy of questions about the running back position.

As has been well-documented, Dallas shocked draftniks during the weekend by making eight different selections during the draft without adding a running back.

“We didn’t put the priority on taking a back that a lot of people may have thought we might,” Jones said.
