INDIANAPOLIS -- Executive vice president Stephen Jones said Wednesday that the Cowboys would like to re-sign middle linebacker Rolando McClain and cornerback Morris Claiborne. Both are unrestricted free agents.

Although he hasn't closed the door on bringing back veteran defensive end Greg Hardy, Jones acknowledged that, "Greg is a different situation."

"At the end of the day, we got to make a decision there," Jones added. "But the rest of the guys it's all going to be a function of price."

Jones said he thought McClain was more reliable and productive in his second season with the club.

"I think he's finding a niche here and hopefully we can figure something out," he said. "We'll be visiting with his agent while we're here."

In regards to Claiborne, Jones said he thought the sixth overall pick in the 2012 draft had his best season in 2015.

"He had his best offseason and his best year," Jones said. "Sometimes it just takes time for young guys to really figure it out in terms of what it takes to be a pro in this league."

Claiborne failed to record an interception in 2015, however, he started 11 games after only starting 10 the previous two seasons combined because of multiple injuries. The 26-year-old also had seven pass breakups. He had only two in 2014 and five in 2013.

Jones also commented on Brandon Carr's contract situation. The veteran corner is entering the final year of a 5-year, $50.1 million deal he signed in 2012.

"Obviously when you're making that kind of money, you subject yourself to some discussions," Jones said, "so we're obviously doing that and we'll continue to do that."

Carr, who has started every game in his eight-year career, has a total of 13 pass deflections and no interceptions during the last two seasons.
