There’s no doubt that Jerry Jones is perhaps the most controversial figure in the NFL – and for good reason. He is the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, the league’s most high-profile team. Now he has been facing nonstop criticism after, just last week, he traded Micah Parsons, the team’s best player, to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for two first-round draft picks.
With this decision, if it was already difficult for the Dallas Cowboys to compete, now he has buried any possibility of success – unless a surprise occurs. Jerry Jones traded away perhaps the best non-quarterback player in the NFL. In his four years in the league since coming out of Penn State, Parsons has totaled 52.5 quarterback sacks.
In the trade, the Dallas Cowboys received Kenny Clark, a strong defensive tackle who will undoubtedly help stop the run. However, he is far from providing the impact of a player like Micah Parsons, who immediately positions the Green Bay Packers as a Super Bowl contender in the NFC.
Terrell Suggs blasts Jerry Jones
Various figures in the NFL have criticized Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, and Baltimore Ravens legend Terrell Suggs, a 2025 Hall of Fame finalist, did not remain silent. He openly criticized the owner of Dak Prescott’s team.
“Jerry Jones – I call him Calvin Candie. As long as he’s in his role, [the Cowboys] are never gonna win the Super Bowl,” Suggs said in an interview with Ben Mendelowitz of The Action Network. “You know the definition of insanity, right? To do the same thing over and over and expect different results. Y’all haven’t been in the show since ’95. Let’s be honest, he needs to remove himself, take his ego out of it and let someone who could see it kind of with fresh eyes.”
The criticism won’t end for Jerry Jones. With this decision, he has clipped the wings of the Dallas Cowboys for the 2025 season. And with two first-round picks in next year’s draft, the team may already be thinking about selecting a quarterback, beginning the process of closing the chapter on Dak Prescott as the team’s starter.
