Cowboys face 4 major decisions – including one on Ezekiel Elliott – and Stephen Jones is the shot caller
https://sports.yahoo.com/cowboys-fa...ephen-jones-is-the-shot-caller-222233852.html
For Jerry Jones, the watershed moment arrived on Day 1. Back in 1989, mortgaged to the hilt after his purchase of the Dallas Cowboys, he pulled the plug on the iconic Tom Landry and installed Jimmy Johnson as his head coach, kickstarting a return to prominence and laying the foundation that would help make Jones one of the biggest power brokers in NFL history.
Nearly 30 years later, arguably the most important turning point since that 1989 shakeup is now unfolding in Dallas. But this stage doesn’t belong to Jerry anymore. Instead, this moment belongs to Jerry’s son Stephen. The successor who is about to put his biggest mark on these Cowboys, completing a transition of power that has been steadily emerging over the past five years.
Make no mistake about this period of Cowboys lore: 2019 is the year of Stephen Jones. And the decisions he makes this year – including a contract extension for DeMarcus Lawrence that is already in the books – will end up defining the path of the franchise for the next decade or more...
