Jones effectively tanked the Cowboys\u2019 2025 campaign when he inexplicably traded\u00a0Micah Parsons\u00a0to the\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0right before Week 1, and ever since losing him, he\u2019s been scrambling to pick up the pieces and rebuild his defense.<\/p>\n<p>While Dallas has done some solid work this offseason, Jones isn\u2019t exactly the most popular person in the state of Texas right now. One guy who has had beef with Jones for several years now is\u00a0Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens, and he recently took aim at his former employer when asked about the state of the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>Terrell Owens Doesn\u2019t Hold Back on Jerry Jones<\/p>\n<p>Play<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Terrell-Owens-e1778097048742.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1200\" alt=\"Terrell Owens Takes Brutal Shot at Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Owens spent three years of his 15-year career with the Cowboys, and he proved that he was still one of the top pass catchers in the league during his stint with the team, even in his mid-30s. Owens racked up at least 1,050 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in each of his three seasons with the team, and he also earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro First Team honors in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Even with all that success, Owens\u2019 time with the Cowboys came to an abrupt ending, as he was released in the wake of the 2008 campaign. This seems to be the primary issue Owens has with Jones, as he claims that Dallas\u2019 longtime owner reassured him that he would not be released, only to turn around and go back on his word.<\/p>\n<p>While Owens has remained involved with several of his other former teams, such as the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0and Philadelphia Eagles, he has shown no interest in keeping up with the Cowboys. When asked about Jones in a recent interview, it\u2019s clear Owens is still quite upset with him, as he\u00a0took several brutal shots\u00a0at Jones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t care less about Jerry and what he\u2019s doing,\u201d Owens said in an interview with Action Network. \u201cI don\u2019t concern myself with the Cowboys. The Cowboys haven\u2019t concerned themselves with me since I left there. That\u2019s speaking of Jerry Jones or anybody really from that organization \u2026 The way things ended there with the Cowboys, I couldn\u2019t care less. I have nothing to say about them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Terrell Owens Has No Love Lost for the Cowboys<\/p>\n<p>Getty<\/p>\n<p>It seems like Terrell Owens is still not on good terms with Jerry Jones and the Cowboys<\/p>\n<p>Jones is known for being ruthless with his handling of players, and one of the first such examples was his decision to release Owens. In recent memory, we have seen Jones botch contract negotiations with guys like Parsons, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and Dak Prescott. While he signed the latter two to new deals, he cost himself and his team millions of dollars by slow-playing the negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Jones finds himself in another unique situation with wide receiver George Pickens. After franchise tagging Pickens, it seemed like Dallas would try to sign him to a long-term deal, but the Cowboys have said they won\u2019t be offering him a new contract this offseason. It\u2019s another drama-filled situation for Jones, and it appears to be one that Owens will not be paying any attention to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ver the past few months,\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0owner and de facto\u00a0general manager Jerry Jones\u00a0has received his fair share of criticism, and it\u2019s not too hard to see why.
