“That's obviously as we move forward. Hopefully we'll continue to make progress and continue to communicate, but we're not going to report on how things are going to go.”

“The thing we love about Dak is that he's a cowboy,” he said. “That's all we're thinking about.”

“Well, there are ways to adjust the cap number this year,” he said. “Obviously, between Dak and Micah and Sheedy, the salary cap is real for us in a situation where we want to sign all three of them.”

Jones declined to say whether the team will meet with representatives this week in Indianapolis or other details of negotiations over a potential extension.
