The Dallas Cowboys had a dramatic day on Tuesday as owner Jerry Jones addressed questions about the team’s direction for the upcoming NFL trade deadline. On a segment with 105.3 The Fan, Jones took offense to inquiries regarding why the Cowboys weren’t making more moves. He firmly stated it was not the hosts’ role to question him, even suggesting he might remove them from the airwaves.
As fans reacted to this unusual confrontation, the Cleveland Browns traded Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills, receiving more in return than they had given to the Cowboys for him back in 2022.

The drama continued as Jones spoke at the NFL owners’ meetings, again criticizing the radio hosts. He dismissed their football expertise, saying, “I don’t need it to be by the guys I’m paying. I can take it from fans and other people.” He emphasized that he values a collaborative relationship with the media but felt frustrated with the questioning from the hosts.
In light of Cooper’s trade and other moves, speculation arose about whether the Cowboys might seek to make a trade to salvage their season. However, according to Dianna Russini from The Athletic, Jones reiterated that the Cowboys will not be active before the trade deadline. He also confirmed that there would be no changes to the coaching staff, including head coach Mike McCarthy.
While this could be a tactic to maintain secrecy about the team’s strategy, it follows a day filled with unexpected headlines. As the Cowboys head into their bye week, the anticipation around the team continues to grow, leaving fans wondering about the future direction of the franchise.
