Dallas Cowboys seem to have done only one thing this NFL season. They are leaving fans with more questions than answers. With every game they play, they have only managed consistency in the disbelief they leave fans with. The team’s offense doesn’t seem to click, while the defense has seen better days. And now the team is not even a foot near the championship. Everyone seems to have their fingers pointed in one direction – Jerry Jones and his terrible decisions during the offseason. Enter Troy Aikman, a former cowboy himself, who’s been vocal in calling out Jerry and his biggest mistake that has cost the Dallas Cowboys this year’s winning trophy.

While a lot is at stake for the Cowboys due to their underwhelming offense, Aikman made it a mission during Monday Night Football to remind everyone of the main problem here. During the Ravens vs Chargers pregame, he discussed the Cowboys were missing out on a key player: Derrick Henry. Troy’s comments also gained the spotlight on X, because of Clarence Hill Jr’s tweet. His tweet read, “Troy Aikman brings up again that Derrick Henry lives in Dallas and wanted to sign with the Cowboys.” This isn’t the first time Troy is picking up on Jerry for his terrible decisions.

Earlier, during the Ravens’ week 7 game against the Buccaneers, Aikman took a subtle jab at the Cowboys for not signing Henry. While he was all praises for the running back, he also remarked: “There’s gotta be a lot of teams out there that had opportunities to bring in Derrick Henry that are kind of kicking themselves for not doing it. But he has been an absolute perfect fit for this Ravens attack.” Surprisingly, during the game, Troy’s broadcast partner, Joe Buck, also chimed in. “The offseason home for Derrick Henry is in Dallas, Texas,” is what Buck mentioned while dropping hints on how the Cowboys missed out on such a big opportunity.

Despite rumors that Henry wanted to play for his hometown team, Jerry was quick to dismiss the idea. Jerry had mentioned salary cap and system fit as the main concern for Henry not making the cut to Dallas. Derrick Henry, or King Henry, as everyone calls him has been impressive this season with no signs of slowing down. After joining the Baltimore Ravens, the running back has been nothing short of spectacular.

King Henry’s Supremacy: Troy Aikman’s favorite is unstoppable in NFL 2024

When #22 moved to the Baltimore Ravens, it raised plenty of eyebrows. But he’s not letting the public opinions get the best of him. Currently, Henry is leading the NFL in rushing yards with 1,325 yards. It’s a number that speaks highly of his capabilities. In the 12 games he has played so far, Henry has managed multiple 100-yard games and averaged a jaw-dropping 6.0 yards per carry. Not only that, Henry also scored a season-high 199 yards in his week 4 game against the Buffalo Bills.

Henry’s contributions to the team have secured them a spot at the top of the league. But we are not just talking numbers here. We are also highlighting his performance and demeanor in crucial games. The running back helped the Ravens secure a (41-31) win over the Buccaneers with 169 yards. This was their 5th consecutive victory in the season. Derrick Henry’s name will always come up when there is a mention of the best running backs in the league.

Dallas Cowboys, on the other hand, have been searching for consistency. They may have found it with Henry, but that’s a conversation better left in the past now. They are moving midway through the season with a 4-3 record and doubts all around. For now, the Cowboys are left to wonder what might have been if only they had taken a different decision.
