Cowboys' Jerry Jones: Aldon Smith Contract Extension Interests Dallas

owner Jerry Jones said Friday the team is interested in signing defensive end to a contract extension.

Jones, who also serves as the franchise's general manager, was asked on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas (via Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk) whether he's hoping to keep Smith for the long haul:

"Yes, and the idea here is that Aldon is getting better. He's a bigger man than he was when he played earlier in his career. But that has a lot of positives to it, too. But every time he's stepping out there, he's gaining on it, and that's interesting to be at this stage of his career.
