Jerry Jones may have been impressed with Donovan McNabb as a quarterback once upon a time, but he certainly doesn't think much of him as a personnel adviser.

McNabb recommended the Dallas Cowboys trade Tony Romo and Dez Bryant to allow for the new generation of players to take over. The former Philadelphia Eagles, who had to deal with ultimate receiver diva Terrell Owens through his career, felt Bryant is too much of a distraction.

Unsurprisingly, Jones strongly disagrees.

"That's actually the very first I've seen or heard of that," the Cowboys owner told KRLD-FM on Friday, according to Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News. "That's absurd. We may have been blessed with our depth because we're having some young receivers come on, but make no mistake about it, Dez Bryant's a major difference-maker. We got a long way to go. He singularly can make a difference in big games. We're anxious to get him back.

"There are no plans, no thought, I've not even had a bad dream about trading him."

With rumors swirling around what the Cowboys will do at quarterback once Romo returns from his injury, Jones smartly steered clear of that part of McNabb's advice.
