Troy Aikman Had Telling Statement About Jerry Jones
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones shook up the NFL last week by bringing the long-winding feud between him and Micah Parsons to a shocking end by sending him to the Green Bay Packers for a pair of second-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark.
The pushback against Jerry Jones for the move has come from all angles, including former legendary quarterback Troy Aikman, who recently gave a telling statement about the Cowboys owner.
Colin Cowherd said on Thursday’s episode of The Herd that even Troy Aikman knows Jerry Jones doesn’t care about winning, and he played a clip of Aikman’s recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, where he said, “The Cowboys as a discussion point is meaningful to him, and has given the impression that that supersedes winning.”

Cowherd added that Jones is selfish for operating this way, and it’s tough to argue against it at the moment, after months of him treating the Micah Parsons contract dispute and trade request as a charade and an opportunity to get more camera time.
Dealing one of the game’s truly elite pass rushers for draft picks is not an indication that the organization is currently prioritizing winning, and there’s no way to spin it in their favor.
For Aikman, of all people, to say this is telling, as he won three Super Bowls with the Cowboys and has seen the team fail to get anywhere close to another championship since he left the team after the 2000 season.
The spotlight is on the Cowboys to prove this trade wasn’t a mistake, but perhaps that’s all that Jerry Jones wanted.
