Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has attracted renewed scrutiny following a series of public remarks regarding several of the team’s key players, including quarterback Dak Prescott and All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons.
As training camp begins, Jones’ comments have raised concerns about internal tensions within one of the NFL’s most high-profile franchises.
Jerry Jones disses Micah Parsons publicly amidst signing of long-term contract extension
In a press conference held alongside executive vice president Stephen Jones and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, Jones questioned past contract decisions, criticized the team’s injury record, and acknowledged that he has not yet spoken with Parsons’ representatives about a new deal.
Parsons, who has emerged as one of the league’s top defensive performers, is expected to command a contract that reflects his status – particularly in light of recent deals awarded to J.J. Watt and Myles Garrett, each exceeding $40 million annually.
Concerns over Cowboys’s stability
Former NFL quarterback and commentator Robert Griffin III responded to Jones’ remarks with pointed criticism.
Griffin offered a sarcastic observation, implying that Jones’ public criticism might unintentionally strengthen team unity. Griffin later clarified that the comment was not intended to be taken literally, reflecting broader skepticism about the team’s leadership approach.
The Cowboys’ decision not to initiate contract discussions with Parsons has furthered speculation about organizational strategy and priorities.
Parsons recently reposted a tweet from J.J. Watt referencing high-value defensive contracts, signaling his awareness of the shifting financial landscape for players at his position.
How Jerry Jones reacted
Jones’ statement was an clear display of authority: “I sign the check. Period,” he responded when asked about Parsons.
While not unusual for Jones, this direct commentary has prompted questions about its impact on player morale and the broader locker room environment.
The public nature of these disputes is consistent with longstanding patterns in Dallas under Jones’ ownership, where high expectations and media attention frequently intersect with internal discord.
Despite the team’s considerable talent, off-field distractions have often accompanied the Cowboys’ pursuit of sustained postseason success.
As the 2025 season approaches, the organization’s handling of ongoing contract negotiations, particularly involving Parsons, will be closely monitored. The outcome may influence not only team performance but also long-term roster stability

Norris stayed at the top of the timesheet in the day's second session thanks to a best lap of 1:09.890 although this time McLaren were denied a one-two by the impressive Alonso, the Aston Martin driver finishing just 0.087s behind the Briton and 0.002s ahead of title leader Oscar Piastri.Outpaced by title rival Norris […]
