Cowboys VP Stephen Jones says team doesn’t plan 2010 spending spree if there’s no salary cap

VP: Cowboys don’t plan to spend wildly

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones says the team doesn’t plan to spend wildly on free agents if the NFL has no salary cap in 2010.

Jones said Wednesday that the Cowboys agreed to expensive, long-term deals with the likes of Tony Romo and linebacker DeMarcus Ware to keep them off the market in a year when teams might have no limit on spending.

Because of the money tied up in those deals, Jones says the Cowboys aren’t interested in a spending spree. He also says they don’t see a need for major changes after their first playoff win in 13 years.

The NFL will play without a salary cap next season unless a new labor deal is reached. The current collective bargaining agreement expires in March 2011.
