Dallas Cowboys fans are not happy with owner Jerry Jones right now.
They were promised a team that would compete for an NFC title, and Dallas didn’t even make the postseason this past year.
Although they had a strong offense and one of the best kickers in the league, Brandon Aubrey, their defense, following the departure of Micah Parsons in a preseason trade, was putrid.
Cowboys fans were hoping Maxx Crosby would be awaiting them in the offseason, but those dreams were dashed on Friday when the Baltimore Ravens beat out Dallas’ offer to acquire the superstar defensive end.
And if things couldn’t get worse, Jones and their star kicker, Aubrey, couldn’t come to an agreement on a new contract.
Although it isn’t all bad news, as they’ve given a $5.76 million tender to the magical booter, meaning that if a team acquires him for more than the Cowboys are offering him, then they’ll receive a second-round pick from the team that gets Aubrey.
Still, Aubrey was one of the few true bright spots on the Cowboys’ last season, and the tension over bringing him back to the team has left Jones open to attacks from fans on social media.
“Dear Jerry Jones,” one fan wrote on X. “If you do not get Brandon Aubrey signed, I will [expletive] lose it.”
“If the Cowboys give up Aubrey Jerry Jones needs to step down,” posted another worried Cowboys fan.
On the opposite end, though, there are fans mad at Jones for trying to keep Aubrey, upset that they’d tender a kicker while letting other players go.
“The Cowboys will protect a kicker before paying their skill players,” posted a Cowboys fan on X. “Brandon Aubrey has more job security than every receiver on that roster combined. Jerry Jones really built a team around a kicker. This is peak Dallas football, and they wonder why they can't win.”
Sign, Aubrey, angry Cowboys fans.
Let Aubrey go, angry Cowboys fans.
Right now, if you’re Jerry Jones, unless you can sign a superstar player in free agency or get one in a trade, it feels as if Cowboys fans are going to be upset at anything you do regarding their star kicker.
