OXNARD, Calif. — Just hours afters announcing plans for a new $115 million team headquarters in Frisco, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones returned to Oxnard and made it clear that he wants to continue going to training camp in California for years to come.
The Cowboys’ deal with Oxnard ends in 2014, but Jones said the team is already working on a contract extension with city officials.
“I think the positives that are here, and really you guys experienced this, this isn’t light to me coming out here to Southern California. Like, we’re trying to experiment over here,” Jones said Tuesday. “We’ve been doing this for how many years now? 30-something, 35 years if you really count Thousand Oaks. This is what we ought to be doing. And we’re working right now on trying to extend it.”
The Cowboys are obligated to spend at least two weeks in Oxnard next year. San Antonio has also expressed interest in hosting camp next year and beyond.

Well, shit. Hopefully, he's just blowing smoke up their ass to not step on any toes during the last couple years we're there.
