With the Dallas Cowboys' season now officially over, executives will turn their attention to the offseason.

Whenever "America's team" is ousted from the playoffs or fails to make the postseason, one of the biggest questions is, "Who are they going to sign that will make them better?" Cowboys' COO says that fans shouldn't hold their breath.

"I think our hands are going to be full paying our own guys," Jones said Monday on 105.3 The Fan. "People may not like it but we're not big advocates of free agency. I don't think we make our living out here paying for free agents. I don't see that being the case especially because we got some really good football players on our team that need to be paid."

It's true — the Cowboys haven't made their living paying big-name free agents. Dak Prescott, Jaylon Smith, Leighton Vander Esch and Ezekiel Elliott all came from the draft, and superstar wideout Amari Cooper came via trade. Now, without their first-round pick, the Cowboys are even more focused on the draft than usual.

"We got a handful of draft picks and we'll go to work. It doesn't mean we won't play free agency at all. We just won't be paying a high-profile free agent more than likely," Jones added. "You never rule anything out all the way but I wouldn't necessarily say that's going to be our strategy going into the offseason."

The Cowboys have several other tasks that will keep them busy during the offseason. Dallas has several free agents, including defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and wide receiver Cole Beasley that need new deals, and they can also negotiate extensions with Prescott, Elliott and Cooper.

Something worth noting is that Jones' comments are not a definitive statement. The Cowboys don't know what the free agent landscape is going to look like in a month or so. They may find out that a couple of big players are interested in them, and that they may be willing to take a pay cut in order to wear the star on their helmet. No matter what Jones says, the Cowboys will be sniffing around on the market just to see what's available. Jones is right in being cautious however, because as previously mentioned, some of their star players are due extensions.

Another fact that makes Jones' statement unbelievable is that the Cowboys have tried to land one specific big-name player multiple times for the last year or so. Dallas has tried to acquire Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas on several occasions, and it seemed like a move that had a good chance of happening. Thomas was more than done with his team, but the deal fell apart due to the high price.

It's clear that Jones doesn't want to get fan's hopes up this offseason, but the Cowboys' mindset in free agency could change very quickly.
