Why Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are taking 'holistic' view of offseason plan

FRISCO, Texas -- Owner Jerry Jones would not budge off his answers regarding defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence's future with the Dallas Cowboys.

Jones was asked Tuesday afternoon if he was optimistic a long-term deal could be reached with Lawrence before the team would need to use the franchise tag on him for a second straight year on March 5. He was asked where the negotiations stood and whether there was more urgency to get the deal done with Lawrence because of the tag deadline.

Jones' answers were largely the same each time.

"I'm not going to get into any of our strategies or how we are going to be doing it," Jones said.
