Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is getting crushed on social media over his latest comments on the state of the team.
Just last month, Jones declared management was “all-in.” He’s since changed his tune, asking them to win with less.
America’s Team hasn’t made an expensive free-agent signing since they brought in cornerback Brandon Carr along with others in 2012, so everyone was well within their rights to be skeptical when Jerry claimed to be “all-in” back in February.
His newest comments are more on-brand as he’s suggested that more is not necessarily better.
“I have been more all-in before,” he said, per Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “By any definition and I have more all-in to make a run back to the line of scrimmage then I’ve been to run for 50 yards. It took more all-in to just get back to the line of scrimmage than it did to run for 50 yards. Sometimes that is a bigger challenge. That is really the gist of what we’re about this year. We’ve got to get it done.
“I think that we have been in a situation where we can get it done with lesser. More doesn’t necessarily beat Green Bay. There are other things. Maybe having it better strategically in different spots, but more than necessarily beat them, either. So we’re going to be asked to do some things different because we’ve got some different players.”
The team is operating under some significant constraints as they need to extend quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and edge rusher Micah Parsons, who are all expected to rein in some serious bank.
Still, fans are trashing Jerry Jones for his take. You can check out some of the reactions below:
Jerry Jones Was Never Really Going To Be “All-In”
Anyone who believed Jerry Jones when he said this at the Combine was hit with a dose of reality shortly after as the Cowboys allowed the Baltimore Ravens to snatch star running back Derrick Henry.
To date, linebacker Eric Kendricks is the only free agent who has been acquired by the team. They’ve also re-signed cornerback Jourdan Lewis and long snapper Trent Sieg while running back Tony Pollard, left tackle Tyron Smith, defensive end Dorance Armstrong, center Tyler Biadasz, defensive end Dante Fowler, and defensive tackle Neville Gallimore are all set to leave.
The team is yet to reach an agreement with Prescott on a long-term deal, so the $55.45 million cap hit his contract carries will have them hamstrung in free agency, though it’s not like they want to make a big move anyway.
