Again, I know this board is pretty split on JJT, but today's segment was pretty interesting. Recap below for those interested:
1. JJT mentioned that he asked around about Dez's workout with Mahomes today and asked once more if there was a slight possibility of Dez wearing the Star again. Said the text that he received from a team source was nothing but 'laughing' emojis. Take it or leave it.
2. Went off on a tangent about the defense. The FO believes that everyone played decent, but there just weren't enough plays made on the defensive side of the ball. JJT mentioned a bizarre statistic about the Cowboys defense which is that they've forced more fumbles than had interceptions in every season since 2013, which is unusual. Thinks people are hard on Chido, but he believes he's truly a good corner that just needs to...yes, you guessed it - make more plays. Says this defense could be elite if they made the plays in front of them.
3. The FO hasn't reportedly spoken to Dak's camp in over four months, which is unusual since the Joneses are supposedly "bullish" on getting this deal done. JJT mentioned that he spoke with Todd Archer about what went down when the deal was "close", and the consensus is that Dak's team upped his price after the 3-0 start. Instead of working quickly to resolve, the Joneses decided to get mad and pout instead, which really aggravated this already aggravating impasse. Dak WILL get paid though.
4. Witten won't be a Cowboy in 2020, regardless of how optimistic he is in the media. There are no reported soft landing spots for him, especially if he stubbornly refuses to take a smaller role on a team.
5. There have, thankfully, been discussions ongoing about Robert Quinn's return. Says that Quinn loves playing opposite to Demarcus Lawrence, because he warrants more attention from OL's.

Of course Dak will get paid.
