ORLANDO, Fla. — Owner Jerry Jones finally acknowledges that the Dallas Cowboys need to get something worked out with receiver Dez Bryant.

Vice president Stephen Jones has stressed that Bryant’s $12.5 million base salary and $16.5 million cap figure have been an issue facing the team since the start of the offseason.

However, the elder Jones has been reluctant to get into specifics about Bryant’s contract and how it impacts his place on the roster going forward.

But Jones gave a good hint to the obvious at the NFL owners meeting on Tuesday when he talked about the addition of free-agent receivers Deonte Thompson and Allen Hurns as well the possibility of adding a receiver in the 2018 NFL draft, set for April 26-28 at AT&T Stadium.
