Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones expressed confidence that the team has assembled a roster capable of competing for the Super Bowl as training camp opens in Oxnard, California. Jones stated that contending for a championship is an achievable expectation for the Cowboys, despite a 30-year drought since their last Super Bowl XXX victory in the 1995 season.

He drew parallels to the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, who reached Super Bowl LX after missing the playoffs the previous year. Jones also indicated a willingness to acquire significant talent, even if it means "giving up the future," and mentioned recent discussions with another owner about a potential move for a playmaker, possibly a pass rusher or linebacker.

While acknowledging a quieter offseason, Jones highlighted efforts in revamping the defensive coaching staff and personnel. He also addressed the situation with George Pickens, whose contract negotiations were deferred, believing it could benefit both sides. Jones concluded by embracing the underdog status and expressing excitement about the team's potential.
