"One more tidbit from Jerry Jones' conversation with reporters at the Senior Bowl this week:

He said executive vice president Stephen Jones maneuvered the Cowboys into a good position on the salary cap for the offseason this year.

"I give Stephen a lot of credit for taking a year we thought would be Armageddon for us, and we were able to do some things last year with the cap that puts us and gives us some viability," Jones said. "Stephen and a lot of the crew he works with regarding the caps, regarding the contracts, all of that has given us a chance to have some room to improve this team this year.

"And we will use it.""
