Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones revealed that he did speak with Deion Sanders in a phone call this offseason, but that the conversation wasn’t about the team’s

Jones said after introducing Brian Schottenheimer as the Cowboys' head coach that he only talked with Sanders.

I’m not giving up my fight. You’re gonna ride by here again in another year or two if this thing don’t work out again, and my song will still be singing like a young Diana Ross: Deion! All the way.'' - Michael Irvin on the Cowboys not hiring coach Sanders.
