INDIANAPOLIS -- Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones vowed Sunday that there will be significant changes despite his franchise ending a 12-season playoff win drought.

While sitting on his luxury bus outside Lucas Oil Stadium at the NFL scouting combine, Jones emphasized that he would not allow the Cowboys to become complacent. He predicted that next season's roster could feature 10 or 11 new players and stressed the need for competition for playing time.

"One of the biggest challenges I've got in my role here is to be an agent of change this year. We have got to look for ways to make changes. That's personnel."

Jones did not deny that a pair of high-priced veterans, offensive tackle Flozell Adams and free safety Ken Hamlin, are among the players who might be released this offseason. Adams and Hamlin have young backups in Doug Free and Alan Ball, respectively, who performed well in stints as starters last season. However, Jones said he would not make any moves for the purpose of saving money. "It'll be based on skill and based on where they fit this year and where they fit the next few years," Jones said.

"Last year, it was not any fun in the offseason," Jones said. "Everybody was pointing fingers. We were pointing fingers. I want some of that right now. I want some people nervous. I want our players nervous."

1. I hear TO is available....

:evilgrin:

[Auggie]

2. LOL

That's one way to make everyone nervous

[joeybee12]

4. Yeah, but Philly has made a bigger offer! n/t

[joeybee12]

3. Why? Will some of their guys finally get parole and be able to play? n/t

[TZ]

5. I heard a rumor that Philly is getting rid of Vick

Don't you think Dallas is the perfect place for the dirtbag?

[joeybee12]

6. I can't wait for that to happen...

...and hear the excuses some people will then make for him!

[ProfessorGAC]

7. But At Least He Never Juiced!!

:sarcasm:

[joeybee12]

8. I saw that if the Rams don't take Bradford 1st, they may make a deal for Vick..

...good, let's see how really mediocre he is as a full-time QB.

Oh, but he did juice his dogs apparently.

10. Oh God no

:grr:

[El Supremo]

9. No. Work Release program.

They still have to report back to jail after practices and games.

11. NO CAP IN 2010. SUPER BOWL HOSTED BY THE HOME TEAM

in the SUPER BOWL!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Auggie]

12. You know, that could very well happen

Reminds me of Super Bowl XIX when the 49ers beat Miami at Stanford Stadium... just a stones throw from their training facility.

[madinmaryland]

13. The sight of the Cowboy Hater's heads exploding will bring a smile to my face!

[Upton]

14. Yeah..except it ain't gonna happen..

that '84 49er team was coached by Bill Walsh and had Joe Montana at QB.

Next year's edition of the Dallas Rednecks will have Wade Phillips and Tony Romo :rofl:

Edit: thought you might like to know that Phillps playoff record is now 1-5...despite having a talented team, there's no reason to assume he's capable of leading the Cowboys to a Super Bowl..

[Auggie]

15. Dallas is a good team

Not as good as the '84 49ers. Few teams have ever been. Or will be. But Romo's improving each year. Dallas is a few players away from making the Super Bowl.

[damyank913]

16. Unfortunately, I believe you're right...

But there's still the "Son of Bum" factor. Not sure Wade is up to it.

[joeybee12]

17. Ah, poor mad, you won't be smiling this millenium!

:7

18. Dallas can't sign any free agents

until they lose one because they were in the final eight teams. The uncapped year isn't the bonanza for Jerry Jones that most teams expect.
