Jones: Cowboys Aren't Dealing Jenkins

May 17, 2014 8:01 PM

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reiterated that he has no intention of trading disgruntled cornerback Mike Jenkins. Jenkins asked to be traded after the Cowboys acquired two probable starting cornerbacks in the offseason. "There's nothing that I can conceive that would help us more as a football team and help us accomplish where we're going to be next year than having Jenkins on the team," Jones said. "I'm sure not interested in anything in the future. I'm all about what we can do (this) year."

Cowboys May Keep Jenkins Until Training Camp

May 18, 2014 2:11 AM

The Cowboys claim they won't trade Mike Jenkins, despite the fact they shopped the defensive back during the NFL Draft. ESPN's John Clayton reported on SportsCenter over the weekend that if a trade is going to happen, it won't occur until late July or August. "If they're going to deal [Jenkins]," Clayton said, "they're going to deal him during training camp." The theory is that a cornerback-needy team might get desperate in camp, especially if one of its top corners goes down in practice or a preseason game. Jenkins is young and his base salary is an affordable $1.052 million.

Polian: Colts Could Have Traded For Orton

Sep 27, 2014 11:14 PM

The trade deadline was bumped from Week 6 to Week 8 recently, a decision that would have changed the makeup of the Colts had it been enacted last season. Bill Polian, who was let go as president by Indianapolis after the season, said he could have acquired quarterback Kyle Orton. "I think the deadline being moved last year would have made a difference for us," Polian said. He says that Peyton Manning might still be with the Colts had the trade been reached. Indianapolis could have finished with a better record, keeping them out of position to draft Andrew Luck. "We would have rekindled our interest in Orton. In Week 6, we knew our quarterback situation wasn't great, but after a couple more weeks, we realized the situation was bad," he said. "We probably would have called Denver, who'd gone to (Tim) Tebow by then, and said, 'Hey, we'll give you a three (third-round draft choice) for Orton.'"

The Cowboys have no plans to trade cornerback Mike Jenkins, according to coach Jason Garrett. Dallas officials would like the disgruntled cornerback to attend organized team activities.
