Jerry lied about releasing Tony. Then Jerry continued to chase a trade for Tony even when Jerry knew there was no chance of that happening. Jerry dragged out the process until it was too late for Tony to pursue an opportunity as a FA.

Now, I assume Jerry is telling Tony that it's for the best that Tony isn't going to another team because Tony can retire to protect his health (and get his salary and cap hit off the Cowboys books) and move on to a new career. And, BTW, he's no doubt telling Tony that the Cowboys would bring him back (forget about the health part) as their starter if he is needed.

This stinks to high heaven as a confidence scheme (flim-flam) pulled on Tony by Jerry. Jerry just picked Tony's pocket for millions of dollars.

yeah...def shady by Jerry. Keeping him off the market and not submitting retirement papers and if the Cowboys need him he would come off TV and play? lotta misinformation...

Is the league gonna go for this? How does it work against the Cowboys Salary cap? Is he cut?
