Jerry Jones Year Quotations

If we get out of the draft without an offensive lineman, I'll be very disappointed. Frankly, I like putting an offensive lineman in the mix every year because of how expensive it is to get them in free agency.

Michael's narrow finish last year has him knocking on the door again, and deservedly so. As the inspirational leader of the first NFL team to win three Super Bowls in four years, he is due.

This year has drained him. He had much higher expectations, as we all did. And as he's been drained, it's taken away some of what he does best off the field, which is his bluster. He's just pulled back a little. The other day, I saw some of that bluster again after our back-to-back wins.

They put me in charge for a year while they looked for someone else. Thirty-five years later, they were still looking.

I looked at this past year as shaking it up better to fit him.

They play the 'You are desperate' game. If the Chargers want to trade up to the eight-to-10 range, I think you're going to have to give away a very high pick from the next year or two and a No. 3 along with it. If you want to get up in the first five picks, you'd have to give up next year's No. 1 (in addition to this year's No. 1).
