The Dallas Cowboys have received a ton of backlash from the national media about the way owner Jerry Jones handled the Micah Parsons situation. Parsons had one-year left on his contract and traded away his best defensive player to the Green Bay Packers for two first round picks and Kenny Clark.

The NFC East fanbase was laughing at Jerry for making this move outside of Cowboys fans. There are a lot of people who think that he should not be the owner of this franchise any longer. They have not won a Super Bowl since the 1995 season.

Connor Orr of sportsillustrated.com wrote a very harsh article about the Cowboys owner. He believes that it is time for Jerry to no longer run the show for this franchise. Orr said,
“The Jones family has made a mockery of the franchise they brought to relevance 30 years ago and has coasted like a gasless convertible for the last two decades. What’s truly sad is that all of this cheapness, all of this incredible lack of giving a s–t from ownership, has overshadowed one of the league’s best personnel departments, which unearthed Tony Romo in undrafted free agency. It also selected Dak Prescott in the fourth round after the owner professed his love for *checks notes* former Houston Roughnecks quarterback Connor Cook. This is a group of people who built the best offensive line in the NFL—a unit which remained that way for half a decade—but withered under a predictable offense piloted by a head coach the owner couldn’t be bothered to part ways with.
Now that Parsons is gone, the Jones’s are gleefully wasting the remaining years of Prescott’s prime and that of CeeDee Lamb, a receiver, who, one has to imagine, is just as eager to depart the padded, sterile walls of Frisco, Texas, for a place interested in hunting for a championship.
Seriously, how dumb does Jones think we all are, trotting out a Netflix documentary about the glory days and his gambler persona while he runs one of the richest sports properties like a black-hearted private equity firm helmed by a few spaced-out failsons? The Cowboys are less a cogent franchise than a series of laughable gaffes layered atop one another like rickety sheets of plywood. “
Will this be the year that Cowboys fans boycott the team after the Parsons trade? Well Orr said in the last sentence of this story,
“You are under the spell of a grifter, my friends, one who should have had the keys taken away a long, long time ago.”
Orr feels like that Jerry has been running the show for too long with the Cowboys. He needs to sell the team and give to someone else who will care about winning more than just making headlines with the media with this latest Parsons drama.
