OXNARD, Calif. — Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones, the owner and general manager of the team, turns 80 this October. Jones’ team has been without a Super Bowl for 26 seasons and he is very insistent when meeting with coaches.
Jones stated that Jones told the team at Tuesday’s training camp’s first news conference, “I told them that I have a birthday up here soon and I don’t have any time to have a terrible time.” “It’s not on our schedule.”
Jones won’t let that fool you.
“Well, I have to win it. It is my duty to win it. But, I will be honest with you: there are degrees. Jones stated that Jones wanted to be fair to all parties. “We have to make it to the playoffs. For it to be a successful year, we need to be in the playoffs.
Jones stated that he felt better about the Cowboys at the opening training camp in 2022, as they have not made the playoffs in consecutive years, since 1998-99. This is a change from what he felt last July.
Last season, the Cowboys were 12-5 and won the NFC East. However, they lost in the wild-card round to the playoffs. San Francisco 49ers.

“I knew there would be adjustments for this team going into the year. You always do,” Jones said. But I knew that we had some of the best financial shots last year. So before we started the season last summer, I knew we would have to make some changes with our players. It was well-teed and I think we did a great job. Although we were disappointed, we still tried.
He is adamant that the Cowboys have a better summer.
Mike McCarthy, his first mention, was the one who made the announcement. McCarthy is currently in the third-year of a 5-year contract he signed back in 2020.
“I will reiterate it, this man is right here. His staff. Jones said that he enjoys his staff. “And I honestly like the composition of the players one-year later that were on this same team last season. I love the new players that were added to our team. You said it was hard to trust a rookie. It’s difficult for rookies to make that kind of an impact. One of our new experiences was seeing him make a huge impact in Micah’s (Parsons). It can happen, I’m sure. It happens all the time. But, is it possible to get players in and make an impact? This is possible. We took a few shots at it.”
The Cowboys boast a salary cap of more than $20,000,000, which is near the top in the league.
Stephen Jones, executive vice-president, said that there was dry powder available.
A large portion of this money is earmarked to wide receivers.

Jerry Jones believes that although the franchise is currently in its longest Super Bowl drought Jerry Jones believes they have had “three to four” chances in recent years of winning a championship. They were the NFC’s best team in 2007 and 2016 but lost in the divisional rounds in 2014. They lost to McCarthy’s in the divisional round during the playoffs in 2014. Green Bay Packers. There was also last year.
Jerry Jones stated, “I can accept the fact that we’ve been closer to the zeros that have been in line here over these last years that are being discussed.” That sustains me. That’s my food. It keeps me going. This isn’t a loss, even though it seems like it. You have someone who wants to go again, and feels like they’ve got all the tools to win it. We won 12 games last season. I wouldn’t be happy if I didn’t feel a little better after those 12 games. I know where our fans are. They should also understand who I am. It’s not enough. But it’s enough to get back there.”
