SCOTTSDALE, Az. -- Stephen Jones wants to talk you off the ledge.
If you're a Cowboys fan concerned by the sheer volume of losses on the defensive side of the ball, if you fret that the smattering of free agent signings and upcoming draft isn't enough to address these obvious shortcomings, the club's executive vice president offers this message:
"There is a little bit of method to the madness here.''
The strategy: think long and hard about signing a good player to a generous third contract, restraint the club exercised when it came to safety Barry Church and cornerback Brandon Carr.
