The Dallas Cowboys are no strangers to drama, but this time it isn’t just Jerry Jones drawing the ire of fans.
His daughter, Charlotte Jones, executive vice president and chief brand officer of the team, has sparked a fresh wave of backlash with her recent comments about the ongoing contract standoff between the Cowboys and star linebacker Micah Parsons.
Michael Irvin believes a Dallas Cowboys icon would have beat his friend Deion Sanders 1-on-1
Parsons, a two-time First-Team All-Pro, is entering the final year of his rookie contract. The Cowboys exercised his fifth-year option, guaranteeing him just over $24 million for the 2025 season.
While that figure sounds significant, many argue it severely undervalues one of the league’s most disruptive defenders, particularly given the blockbuster extensions signed by edge rushers like T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett, and Maxx Crosby.
By waiting, Dallas has backed itself into a corner. With Watt’s $41 million annual salary now the benchmark, Parsons’ eventual deal is expected to reset the market.
Fans already frustrated by the delay in negotiations have now shifted their anger toward Charlotte Jones after her televised remarks on the NFL Network.
“It does happen all of the time”: Charlotte’s defense falls flat
When asked about the stalled extension talks, Charlotte downplayed the controversy, framing it as part of the natural business cycle of the NFL.
“It does happen all of the time. And again I think that’s a testament to people’s interest. That whatever we are doing… there are other contract holdouts across the league. Everyone deals with the same issue. We just happen to be on this stage of interest that is more magnified than most,” she said.
She also hinted that the Cowboys’ finances are stretched across the roster, using an analogy that many found particularly tone-deaf.
“The pie” is how she described the salary cap distribution, suggesting there isn’t enough to go around without sacrifice. For a co-owner of one of the most valuable sports franchises in the world, the “pie” remark struck many fans as dismissive of Parsons’ value and insulting to the loyalty of the fanbase.
Social media erupted almost immediately. One fan tweeted simply, “Oh this is nasty,” while another blasted the Jones family as “so removed from the team they supposedly run it’s insane.”
Fan faith in Charlotte takes a hit
Perhaps most telling was the disappointment from those who once viewed Charlotte as the family member best suited to eventually take over leadership of the Cowboys.
“She was our last hope, but she sounds just as silly and clueless as Tweedledee and Tweedledum,” one fan wrote, lumping her in with Jerry and Stephen Jones.
Others fixated on her “pie” metaphor, mocking the analogy with memes and references to Star Wars. A podcast host summarized the broader sentiment bluntly: “The rot is deep in the front office.”
The Cowboys haven’t reached an NFC Championship Game in nearly three decades, a drought that has tested the patience of one of the NFL’s most passionate fan bases.
With Parsons widely regarded as the cornerstone of the defense, and arguably the team’s most important player, fans are losing patience not only with the front office’s indecision but now also with Charlotte’s public messaging.

Argentino alvo do Atlético-MG é desafeto de Vini Jr. e viveu atrito com treinador do Mallorca antes de possível saída
O lateral-direito Pablo Maffeo, que está na mira do Atlético-MG, foi protagonista de uma polêmica recente no Mallorca, clube pelo qual tem contrato. De acordo com o jornal espanhol Marca, o jogador se desentendeu com o técnico Jagoba Arrasate durante um treino nesta semana e acabou deixando a atividade antes do término. Arrasate minimizou o episódio ao ser questionado na coletiva prévia ao duelo contra o Celta. Segundo ele, Maffeo apresentou dores no pé e, por isso, foi convidado a sair do trabalho. — Não estava bem em uma tarefa, nada mais. Eu preciso pensar no jogo. Depois, cada um interpreta como quiser — afirmou o treinador. Apesar da versão oficial, a cena foi interpretada como um atrito entre técnico e atleta, aumentando a tensão em torno da permanência de Maffeo no Mallorca.

Last Night in Baseball: Roman Anthony Introduced Himself to Yankee Stadium
There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves.Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from the weekend in Major League Baseball:[Roman’s Empire pun]You know what the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry is missing these days? It’s still huge, don’t misunderstand, but more homegrown players that the opposing fan base dread to see come to town would do wonders for spicing it up. The Yankees have Aaron Judge, sure, but with all the Red Sox trades and homegrown stars walking away, their roster has been a bit more mercenary of late. That seems to be changing, though, as everyone was reminded of when star rookie Roman Anthony did his thing in his first trip to Yankee Stadium.In the top of […]
Caso Robinho: Gilmar Mendes diverge em julgamento e vota para liberar ex-jogador
O ministro Gilmar Mendes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), votou nesta sexta-feira para que o ex-jogador Robinho seja liberado da prisão. Gilmar considera que deve ser cancelada a decisão que validou no Brasil a condenação que Robinho teve na Itália. O STF está analisando um recurso da defesa do ex-jogador contra a decisão que manteve sua prisão. Com o voto de Gilmar, o placar está em dois votos a um para rejeitar o recurso e manter Robinho preso. O julgamento ocorre no plenário virtual e está programado para durar até a próxima sexta-feira. O relator é o ministro Luiz Fux, que já votou para negar o recurso. Ele foi acompanhado até agora por Alexandre de Moraes. Quando a análise começou, em março, Gilmar Mendes tinha pedido vista. Agora, o julgamento foi retomado com o voto dele. No ano passado, o […]
