Tim Cowlishaw: Cowboys’ Jerry Jones Defends Role, but Isn’t Ready to Go Super Bowl-or-Bust on This Team

DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 22 – Jerry Jones emphasizes mandatory leadership and accountability for top earners like Micah Parsons amid ongoing contract talks and expresses cautious optimism about the Cowboys' prospects.

  • During this week’s press conference, the Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said `Just because we sign him doesn’t mean we’re going to have him`, emphasizing his ongoing leadership role.
  • Jones is known as one of the most polarizing NFL owners because he made himself president and GM after purchasing the Cowboys in 1989, a move that influenced Jimmy Johnson’s 1994 departure, and he admitted he has considered stepping down as GM.
  • Despite a talented roster, the Cowboys deducted $500,000 from Trevon Diggs’s $9 million base salary for failing to complete 84% of offseason workouts, sources familiar with the situation.
  • Holding firm on accountability, Jones emphasized `I'm not concerned at all about what our team can be this year,` while stressing leadership and expectations.
  • Looking ahead, Jones asserted camp runs through Aug. 14, and a Parsons hold-in won’t impact development, risking his potential as the NFL’s most sought-after free agent.
