Is there a week in the NFL when Jerry Jones isn’t in the news? Well, this guy is a walking controversy. So, what did he do this time? Well, Jones has not done anything recently, but it appears that his prior controversies are being dug up again. And for that, the Cowboys owner is definitely facing a lot of criticism from fans. AND Jones is also being called out by his former player, in addition to the insults from the fans.
Well, Dez Bryant is the player. And just hearing his name would have recalled your thoughts on the controversies of Bryant, DeMarco Murray, and Jerry Jones. While the incident occurred over ten years ago, it has only recently surfaced on the internet. And, surprisingly, Dez Bryant responded, revealing that at that time he was willing to cut his deal in order to keep Murray on the team. But that did not work out for Jones.
I wanted to take a pay cut to keep the team together https://t.co/RJE7gQ0ZY7

Bryant claimed in a tweet, “I wanted to take a pay cut to keep the team together.”After these statements, the fans exploded on Jones. Everyone started to recall the controversy that happened a decade back in 2015. The time when DeMarco Murray was released after following a record-breaking 2014 season. Murray set a franchise record for rushing yards in 2014, with 1845 yards and 13 touchdowns. The WR was fantastic, yet he did not get the better deal that he deserved. A classic Jerry Jones incident.
The billionaire preferred Bryant to Murray, which angered DeMarco on the squad. And the result? DeMarco Murray signed with the Eagles, which ended up terrible for him. The receiver struggled and was traded to the Titans after a singular season. From there, his steep decline began. On the other hand, the Cowboys, who were 12-4 in 2014, slumped in 2015 and finished 4-12.
Now you know that Murray and the Cowboys were codependent. And when they parted ways, results were in noone’s favor. As a result, Jerry Jones finally confessed that the team’s choice to release DeMarco was a huge mistake. However, the fans have yet to recover from the apologies. They are still dissatisfied with the Cowboy’s general manager. And understandably so.

The Cowboys are currently struggling with a lot of challenges. One of these is the rumored Micah Parsons trade. The number 11 is an elite player for the franchise, and fans who read Dez Bryant’s comments feel that just like Murray, Parsons may be the next star Jones messes up: “Jerry Jones is a f*cking idiot. He’s going to mess around and lose Micah too.”

This fan was not alone; another began to argue that Jerry Jones’ stupidity is the reason the Cowboys can’t do anything: “Jerry Jones is an ignorant motherf—-r that will be the sole reason why the Cowboys will NEVER win something.” This was not all; several supporters were astounded by Bryant’s passion for his team. One aptly summed up the surprise with a crisp “Damn” to highlight how easily the mess with Murray could have been avoided.

While Jones was being criticized, one fan took shots at every billionaire: “Billionaires having millionaires take less, so they’re more profitable. Salute for being a real one, tho.” Making such comments requires a lot of guts. But could you blame him? I mean, the way Jerry Jones has been moving all these years, it’s a surprise the Dallas team is still the ‘America’s team.‘
