Jerry Jones Explains How Micah Parsons Trade Changed Cowboys Defense

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones speaks with reporters following Thursday's training camp practice and explains how the Micah Parsons trade ultimately helped reshape the Cowboys' defense.

Jones discusses the decision to become more aggressive with the roster, the emphasis on improving the interior of the defensive line and the impact the trade had on creating future salary-cap flexibility. He also compares the situation to the Cowboys' historic Herschel Walker trade and how having additional draft capital encouraged the organization to take more risks.

Jones also talks about signing Quentin Lake, the possibility of seeing first-round picks play Saturday, the importance of being careful with injuries and the young defensive players who have impressed him at training camp.

Plus, Jones discusses his memories of winning the Super Bowl in Los Angeles, his appreciation for the city's connection to his career and whether Mark Cuban could eventually become part of a Cowboys ownership group.
