The Dallas Cowboys likely won't be entering the Josh Norman sweepstakes.
Executive vice president Stephen Jones acknowledged Friday that the cost of signing the free-agent cornerback is more than the Cowboys would be willing to spend.
"Josh Norman is a great football player. But at the end of the day, you've got to fit the skill level and where you think he would perform for us with the cap and the financial deal," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. "That's what we would consider, and obviously we have some high-paid football players on this team.
"... My understanding as to where the finances may be on Josh right now are probably past where we're comfortable with."
Norman, who became a free agent Wednesday after the Carolina Panthers rescinded the franchise tag on him, is believed to be seeking a long-term deal worth between $14 million and $15 million per year.
The Cowboys aren't the only team that balked at Norman's asking price. Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell indicated Friday there's a sizable gap between the salary Norman wants and what his team is willing to offer.
