Jerry Jones' phone call with Deion Sanders was thought to be about interest in the Dallas Cowboys job, but was it?

Sanders reportedly express interest in both the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys openings, per multiple reports. Sanders confirmed he spoke with Jones to ESPN. However, the Cowboys are already in the process of interviewing candidates, having completed meetings with Robert Salah and Kellen Moore for the position.

Though it dominated the news cycle for quite some time after they split with Mike McCarthy, Deion Sanders was never actually a serious candidate for the Dallas Cowboys job.

Jerry Jones has always been known for getting too involved with the Dallas Cowboys, and now the team's owner has given head coach Brian Schottenheimer specific instructions on how to manage the club this year.
