Now, I don’t suppose it's going to occur as a result of that is the state of Texas, and the patriotic people that they delight themselves on being, because the complete Kaepernick narrative was hijacked. Jerry Jones just isn't gonna let it get in the best way of enterprise. However I might give it some thought — I might say that.”
