On Thursday, we offered "One big question" for each of our division's teams and took a stab at answering it. If you missed them, you can check them out here (http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/tag/_/name/2012-one-big-question). But I get tons of questions, and not all of them are big. So as we head into the weekend, I thought I'd take a shot at answering a couple of smaller, more specific questions I seem to be getting asked a lot these days. Let's do one per team.

http://assets.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/med/trans/dal.gifDallas Cowboys (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/dal/dallas-cowboys): Will they go after Jacoby Jones (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/10517/jacoby-jones)?

It'd make a lot of sense, for the right price. He's a veteran receiver who can help as a return man. Basically what they need after Laurent Robinson (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/10519/laurent-robinson) and the 11 touchdowns he caught last season left for Jacksonville. But remember that last year, when No. 3 wide receiver was a question mark, the Cowboys didn't panic. They believed that Jason Witten (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/4527/jason-witten)'s pass-catching ability at tight end lessened their need to prioritize that position, and they scooped up Robinson as a late-offseason bargain and got more than they ever expected. If there's competition for Jones, I wouldn't expect the Cowboys to push overly hard. There are still other options, including fifth-round pick Danny Coale (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/15034/danny-coale) and some of the other young guys on their roster.
