Jerry Jones isn't Giving Up Control as Cowboys GM Maybe Ever
This quote from Jerry Jones via Clarence Hill Jr. at AllDlls.com should be music to Eagles fans’ ears:
“I’ve done it all. So I have an ordinate amount of confidence that fuck, if anybody can figure out how to get this shit done, I can figure out how to get it done,” Jones said. “I’ve been there every which way from Sunday, and have I busted my ass a bunch, a bunch. And there’s nobody living that’s out cutting and shooting that can’t give you a bunch of times they busted their ass. So hell no, there’s nobody that could fucking come in here and do all the contracts … and be a GM any better than I can.
“There is no better GM in the NFL than Jerry Jones!” – Jerry Jones
Since 1996 the Cowboys haven’t sniffed an NFC Championship game. They’ve won five playoff games since then. Jerruh is the answer to what it would look like if fantasy football became real life. And it looks like he just woke up from his post-lunch nap:
🚨 🚨 🚨
The #Cowboys and All-Pro WR CeeDee Lamb agreed on a massive 4-year extension worth $136M, per me and @TomPelissero.
Lamb gets $100M guaranteed and a WR-record $38M signing bonus in a deal done by Tory Dandy of CAA. He’s the 2nd highest paid non-QB in NFL history. pic.twitter.com/QhfMpSErLd

The quotes get even better as the article continues:
Of course, Jones was just getting wound up. He said he is the one for the job because of what he has been through in life, the hard times of waking up not knowing if he could pay a bill and that includes his wife Gene Jones having her credit cards cut up.
“I fucking have had hundreds of [bad days],” Jones said. “I’m emotional about it sometimes. Well, running this thing, that’s who I want to make the last call. Now, when I can’t fucking think, when I’m old and I can’t even do it… but I’m a long way from not being able to do it too.
“The reason I don’t let somebody else be the GM is because I don’t have anybody that I will let do it to actually do it right. And they’re gonna have to come to me and because I know where it is that you’re going to pay for it.”
“Now, when I can’t fucking think, when I’m old and I can’t even do it… I’m a long way from not being able to do it too.” What a quote.
This guy doesn’t even remember saying the Cowboys would be “all in” a couple months ago:
Jerry Jones said the Cowboys are going all in 2024…”We will be going all in. I would say that you will see us this coming year not build it for the future.”

All in must mean Zeke, Eric Kendricks, and Jourdan Lewis. When Howie fleeces him in a James Bradberry trade now that Daron Bland went down, he might get sued for ageism.
I used to think the fun would come to an end once Jones croaks. But I’m really starting to think Jerry forced the team to build this special AI hologram so that he can make personnel decisions from beyond the grave:
The #Cowboys have unveiled an AI-driven hologram of Jerry Jones at AT&T Stadium. Fans can ask about his life, college at Arkansas, owning the Cowboys, etc. The technology can generate multiple responses, creating a lifelike conversation with Jerry Jones. pic.twitter.com/tMz1MM5Rcp

Take the 10.5 win under at PA sports betting apps. This is going to be a dumpster fire with Jerry’s hold on the GM role.
