Cowboys news: Jerry Jones’ comments sound more optimistic on Tyron Smith’s situation

Jerry Jones doesn’t sound convinced that Smith is leaving.

Speaking Friday after the meeting, owner and general manager Jerry Jones struck an optimistic tone.

“We’ll get in there in the right way and discuss his business and work out something that’s good for both of us,” Jones said. “He’s had a great career. He’s a Hall of Fame player. And not only that, his personal life is one of the great stories that I’ve been a part of with players, or coaches or anybody, commissioners or anybody in the NFL.

“So, where I’m going with this is to certainly get something that would have him on the field, I can’t tell you how good shape I thought we were in with him as we got into the playoffs and his health and where he was.
