In the coming months, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Roc Nation Sports founder Jay Z are going to be seeing a lot of one another. Although Jones reportedly wasn't on board with the decision, Dez Bryant signed with Roc Nation Sports recently, which means Jay Z is going to be helping the star wide receiver negotiate his next contract with the Cowboys. So more than a few eyebrows were raised last night were Jones and Jay Z were spotted chatting at the Giants/Cowboys game in East Rutherford, N.J. And just one question came to everyone's mind: What in the world were they talking about?
As it turns out, nothing all that important. After the Cowboys knocked off the Giants 31-28 late last night, Jones spoke with reporters about his brief meeting with Jay Z. And when he was asked if Bryant's contract came up during their discussion, Jones said it had not. Instead, he joked that he had been trying to convince Jay Z to perform during the Eagles/Cowboys game in Dallas on Thanksgiving Day.
"I was working on a halftime deal with him for Thanksgiving," Jones said, before admitting what the two had really talked about. "No, it's good. He had just been to the stadium and entertained there. He's outstanding."
Hmmm…That doesn't exactly sound like a guy who's taking Jay Z's role as Bryant's agent too seriously. We'll have to wait and see how "outstanding" Jones thinks Jay is once contract negotiations begin in the offseason.
