Terrell Owens Blisters Cowboys’ Jerry Jones With Blunt Criticism of Ownership

The former Dallas wide receiver blamed one person for the team’s disappointing finishes.

The Dallas Cowboys once again flamed out in the postseason, losing to the Green Bay Packers during wild-card weekend as a No. 2 seed. It has now been 28 years since Dallas last reached the NFC championship game, and many observers around the NFL world expect an annual postseason disaster from the team.

That includes former Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens, who went 0–2 in the playoffs during three seasons with Dallas. Owens appeared on The Morning Roast with Bonta and Shasky on KGMZ-FM in San Francisco on Friday and explained that he isn’t surprised by another Dallas disappointment.

“With the Cowboys, honestly, I kind of expected that, and that’s just me being honest,” Owens said. “I kind of take myself out of being a fan, I try and take myself out of the biases. But that organization is just not really run well.

“I think in order for that team to really win, there’s going to have to be some front-office, some hierarchy-type changes, probably starting with the owner and maybe the GM. That’s just me. They’re not going to win anytime soon.”

Owens specifically called out Jerry Jones with the statement, because Jones serves as both the owner and general manager of the Cowboys. The former wide receiver also seemed to accuse Jones of not caring enough about winning because the team is comfortably profitable.

“For Jerry Jones, that money is always going to win, whether they win or lose or draw. So it doesn’t matter what they do,” Owens said. “So these Cowboys fans, they can keep crying. The best thing they can do is boycott going to some of those Cowboy games for a number of years until they till they get to at least the NFC Championship.”

Next season, Dallas will again enter a season with Super Bowl aspirations despite coming off a disappointing postseason. According to Owens, though, nothing will change as long as Jones is in charge.
