On Thursday, Jones made an appearance on SiruisXM’s NFL Radio where he discussed the Schottenheimer hire in further detail, and he made clear that the 29-year championship game drought is something that weighs heavily on him and the rest of the Cowboys brass. Or, at least, Jones made clear he’s aware that it exists.

The Cowboys VP has a salary cap problem that needs addressing to improve a roster that needs it via free agency.

The Cowboys could have used this as a "sickness-and-cure'' admission to demonstrate how "Schotty'' is going to end the 29-year drought. Instead, with two wagging fingers, Stephen Jones suggested that there really is no 29-year drought at all.

Stephen Jones used air quotes to describe the Dallas Cowboys title game drought which sent fans into an uproar.

After a 65-minute news conference in which Jones-speak more than doubled the efforts of new head coach Brian Schottenheimer — no stranger to the filibuster himself —Jerry and Stephen did their best to exhaust smaller groups of media with a few answers that felt direct but many more that rambled out of bounds.
