Cowboys GM Jerry Jones accepts blame for Dallas' 1-2 start to 2024 NFL season

Jerry Jones has been at the helm of the Cowboys for more than three decades. During that time, the Cowboys have experienced unprecedented success on and off the field. However, as the franchise starts this season in a troubled fashion, fans have been blaming Jones and he agrees with them.

The Dallas Cowboys are on a two-game losing streak, with both of their losses occurring in front of their home crowd in Dallas. As a result, broadcasters and fans have turned on the franchise. While Tom Brady blamed CeeDee Lamb for the lack of offensive output, the Cowboys fans directed their frustration at Jerry Jones.

Since purchasing the team in 1989, Jones has served as the owner, president and general manager of the Cowboys. On Tuesday, the billionaire appeared on "105.3 ‘The Fan," where he was confronted with fans’ opinions that he is the biggest problem with the franchise at the moment.

“That’s very fair. How could you think otherwise?… I accept that completely,” Jone said on "105.3 ‘The Fan.

Jones’ late signing of star players without letting them acclimate with the scheme for this year has been one of the biggest issues that the fans have rallied against. Especially after Jones stated he was “all in” at the start of the offseason.

Jerry Jones gets called out by an analyst

Jones, while speaking to the media, stated that he “couldn’t afford” to extend powerhouse running back Derrick Henry as such Henry became a free agent and signed with the Baltimore Ravens. However, NFL analyst Mike Greenberg on ESPN’s ‘Get up’, decided to fact-check Jones.

“I like and admire Jerry Jones very much, but that cannot be said unchecked,” Greenberg said. “We must fact check things like that. You know how you easily could have afforded Derrick Henry? If you had paid CeeDee Lamb when you should have."

"If they had decided to treat the offseason like it began before September 1st, they could easily have afforded Derrick Henry and a lot of other pieces.”

Greenberg claimed that if Jones and the Cowboys' front office had signed their star players earlier in the offseason, they would’ve acquired them far cheaper. The Cowboys are feeling the effects of not having a talent like Henry on the field, after going 1-2 in the season.
