Jerry Jones was asked on Thursday if he regretted trading for Adam Jones. "I don't," said Jones. "I knew the risk. I do. Most situations have inherent risks. "I regret the negative publicity for the Cowboys and I regret the negative publicity for the NFL. "On the other hand, financially there hasn't been any risk significantly certainly. He played in six ballgames for the Dallas Cowboys and played well. I know others thought he could've played better, but he played well. "I don't regret it at all. It is important for me to recognize how important it can be for a young man to have this curtain come up, change his behavior and do it with the carrot out there of being a player in the NFL and for the Cowboys. It can work. The odds may be long, but it can work. Any time we have a chance to have those things converge - good for the team as well as good for the player - you're going to have a good listener with me. A good listener. "He's a hard worker and I'm not trying to make his case. His case has been made, that's a fact. But he's a hard worker and you have to have that before I would even look at it."
