The Dallas Cowboys were reportedly interested in acquiring defensive end Sheldon Richardson from the New York Jets last week, but the Jets’ asking price was too much.

Per the Forth Worth Star-Telegram’s Clarence Hill, the Jets wanted a first-round pick in 2017 or 2018 from the Cowboys, a high price to pay for a player that is hitting the free-agent market after next season.
