Marcus Spears questioned the judgment of Jerry Jones in having Tony Romo and Jason Witten in his box with former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush during the NCAA National Championship Game.

Spears spent eight seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and then a single season with the Baltimore Ravens before retiring.

“You understand in this league that your star players are going to have things come their way that most guys don’t,” Spears told 105.3 The Fan in Dallas/Ft. Worth. “I’ve had opportunities that some guys didn’t have. . . . The team aspect has always been first to me. That’s just the bottom line. I don’t know if it sends the right message when your head coach is hanging out with one particular guy.”

Spears isn't sure if other players were invited to the box.

“When you have that type of situation in the locker room, possibly it causes problems,” Spears said.  “That was my point. It wasn’t to make anybody look bad or say Jerry is doing something wrong or anything like that. I just wondered if any of the other guys felt like they should be there or if they ever were invited to any other events. . . . When you’re building a team, when you’ve got a team concept — as many young guys as the Cowboys have on the team right now — I just felt like it would have been a good situation for all of them to try to get together and hang out and build that team camaraderie with the guys.”
