Jerry Jones sure knows how to keep things interesting, doesn’t he? As training camp kicked off this year, the Dallas Cowboys’ owner made some eyebrow-raising remarks that fans and analysts alike are buzzing about.
First up, let’s talk about Micah Parsons. The All-Pro pass rusher is crucial for the Cowboys, and keeping him around is going to cost the front office a pretty penny. However, Jones didn’t exactly provide the commitment fans were looking for – in fact, he seemed to downplay it by mentioning Parsons’ injury struggles last season. And for good measure, he threw some shade at Dak Prescott, recalling how Prescott became the highest-paid at his position only to miss a substantial part of the season due to injury.
Jones was also asked about stepping down as the general manager. His response? A refreshingly candid moment. “Yes, momentary,” he said. “Small fractions of seconds… I promise you that.”
Of course, Cowboys fans had plenty to say about Jones’ comments. Many expressed frustration with his ongoing role in managing the team. As one fan bluntly put it, “Senile, worthless old man… the words I want to say to him, man.” This sentiment seemed to echo across social media, with several fans wishing for a change in leadership.
Jerry Jones has been at the helm since 1989, and while the Cowboys have enjoyed some glorious moments with three Super Bowl wins under his tenure, it’s been a long wait for their return to the top. As the Cowboys gear up for their 2025 season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 4th, all eyes will be on whether this year could usher in a new era of success for the storied franchise.
Only time will tell if these pre-season shake-ups lead to a new chapter in Cowboys history, but one thing is for sure – with Jones in charge, it’s never a dull moment in Dallas.
