yes, but the problem was jones boys did not even try to get him, and that is the issue.
Brady said that he hated the cowboys because of the dallas SF rivalry games in the 90's and he was a SF fan.
But if jones boys sweet talked him , who knows.
but again the main point is no effort was made, and they think Dak is a better option.
I don't think they wanted to be seen as a suitor spurned for another team, they're all ego. They think every player in the league wants to play for the Cowboys.
I don't think they could have signed him and I think they know that. I also don't think they haven't considered other options other than Prescott this off season. I think they had some quiet feelers out there for what might be an alternative because they had trouble signing him last off season.
With Brady, it wasn't going to be about money but legacy and living how he wants to live. He grew up in the Bay Area and played around Boston, he wants to be around water. Jimmy was never going to stay land locked in Dallas much longer than he did. Water people have to be around it, it's in their soul.
If I were Brady, I would have chosen TB over DAL because of the O talent, coaching and location. His predecessor led the NFL in passing yards last season...and picks but that's not Brady's style. He's not a gunslinger, he's a surgeon. He's not a circus performer either.
