Howard update

Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said he is getting the cold shoulder from the Cowboys concerning trade talks for New Orleans defensive end Darren Howard. But Jerry Jones said the team remains interested.

"We just haven't been able to come to any agreement on compensation, which isn't unusual," Jones said.

The Cowboys have no interest in trading either of their first-round draft picks -- No. 11 and No. 20 -- or linebacker Dat Nguyen.

The Saints used the franchise tag on Howard, guaranteeing him $7.8 million this season, but New Orleans has been working to trade the five-year veteran who had 11 sacks last season and has 41 in his career.
