Jerry Jones Admits Awful Truth Cowboys Fans Already Knew
By Joe Summers
Jerry Jones' unwavering commitment to mediocrity has never been more apparent. Despite declarations that the Cowboys are "all-in" to win a Super Bowl, not a single decision he's made over the last calendar year suggests he cares about anything but himself.
Dallas has a clear need at wide receiver. Three-time All-Pro Davante Adams demanded a trade this week, yet Jones is too cheap to even consider making an offer. Alas, Adams has a large contract, and Jones' pathetic decisions are motivated purely by his wallet.
Funnily enough, a Cowboys' Super Bowl would enhance the value of his pockets. Unfortunately for the Dallas faithful, Jones doesn't have the foresight to realize it.
Jerry Jones Refuses to Trade for All-Pro WR Davante Adams
The Cowboys have told the world they are passing on a trade for Davante Adams despite the receiver’s interest in playing for Dallas.

The reason? The same reason Dallas passed on Derrick Henry last offseason: money.

Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported that Jones won't even attempt to acquire Adams for the same reason he didn't try to sign RB Derrick Henry: money.
Even disregarding the hilarious optics of Jones soaring into Cowboys practice on a helicopter, none of his actions over the past year make any sense. He engaged in pointless contentious negotiations against CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott with Micah Parsons' extension still unresolved, costing himself money at every turn.
A smart businessman or even the most basic poker player would know that it's wise to act aggressively. Jones appears to have no acumen of the sort. If he did, he would've saved himself and Dallas millions by signing those stars early instead of waiting for other players to drive the price up.
"Adams is owed $13.5 million for the rest of this season," Russini writes. "Tough timing for a chopper landing, as far as Dallas fans are concerned. The Cowboys’ 2024 motto is 'all-in,' but I still don’t know what that means."
Frankly, it means nothing; instead, it creates a media firestorm circling around an uninterested billionaire wasting a city's time. Cowboys fans deserve better, though they'll never get it until Jones learns how to operate a football team. Despite decades of experience, he routinely makes elementary mistakes that the rest of the NFL laughs at.
Jones is Dallas' biggest problem. That's why the organization can't hoist a Super Bowl trophy as currently constructed. Things won't change until he does.
Sadly, the arrogant owner doesn't seem as interested in winning as he pretends to be.
