The Dallas Cowboys’ owner and general manager, Jerry Jones, has been open about the team’s poor season and the reasons he didn’t sign more players during the offseason.
Jones answered questions about Dallas’ lack of offseason moves, particularly the inability to sign star running back Derrick Henry, a former Tennessee Titan, during his Tuesday appearance on the 105.3 The Fan radio show.
Jones stated, highlighting the current roster’s potential: “In my mind, we’re not playing very good football right now at all, and it’s beyond whether or not we have Derrick Henry… I don’t know if he’d have the career year in our situation,”
Does Jerry Jones rant impact Derrick Henry ?
In September 2024, Henry joined the Baltimore Ravens, and he has been an outstanding player thus far this season. He has accumulated 134 carries for 873 yards and eight touchdowns as of Week 8. The Ravens’ success this season has been largely attributed to his outstanding play.
The Cowboys, who are at 3-3, just had a much-needed bye week. ‘Sunday Night Football’ is the eighth week, and Dallas is getting ready to play the San Francisco 49ers.

In September, Derrick Henry agreed to a two-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens that may total up to $16 million, with $9 million guaranteed. According to Jones, this was a major factor in their decision not to pursue the football player.
