Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made it clear that he doesn’t think the team needs to acquire Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, despite Indianapolis granting the veteran rusher permission to seek a trade on Monday.
Taylor, who has been vocal in his frustration about the team failing to give him an extension on his rookie contract this offseason, requested a trade from the franchise after a meeting with Colts owner Jim Irsay in July. Despite the team able to field trade offers for the 24-year-old star, Jones told reporters not to count the Cowboys among his active suitors.
“I look at every opportunity,” Jones said, per Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “But the way our young backs are playing, I am very comfortable where we are with our backs right now. I feel good about our running back position if we didn’t add anybody.”
