Robjr83 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 When Ozzie was talking about having the deal done with Monroe he said: I’ve had a guy in my office sitting with a pen in his hand and didn’t sign because [Dallas Cowboys owner] Jerry Jones sent his plane.(laughter) So, up until you get the name on the contract, it’s not done.” Who was he talking about? Garrett? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robjr83 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Found this one http://articles.philly.com/2001-01-23/sports/25308743_1_ravens-defense-ray-lewis-peter-boulware So Newsome and his team went back to the drawing board in search of another linebacker."We tried to sign Broderick Thomas as a free agent," Newsome said. "I had him in the office."The Dallas Cowboys linebacker, struggling with his decision, called teammate Deion Sanders, a buddy."Deion got [Cowboys owner] Jerry [Jones] on the phone, and Jerry sent the plane," Newsome said. "He went back to Dallas."The Ravens also tried and failed to come to terms with Anthony Pleasant, but a discussion with McCrary's agent revealed that the free-agent defensive end would fit comfortably in Baltimore's salary scheme.
