The owner and general manager of Dallas assures that the possible elimination from the playoffs will not affect how his team finishes the season
FRISCO — The possibilities of Dallas Cowboys chances of making the playoffs could be thwarted Saturday if the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders, but owner and general manager Jerry Jones He stated that this will not affect the end of the team’s season.
“A victory is very important in the NFL. And a victory is important to me. And a victory brings many benefits. I don’t care when it happens,” he declared. Jerry Jones to the 105.3 The Fan in dallas. “We owe it to our fans, who we want to go out on the field and be competitive. We will not be looking for a spot in the draft. We won’t look for anything like that. We’ll go out and play football and make them play. “So that’s a long way of saying we’ll play football under any circumstances.”
If the Cowboys They were preparing to play the playoffs, Jerry Jones said they would consider resting starters, such as quarterback Dak Prescott, to ensure they were healthy for the postseason. The Cowboys They have made those types of decisions in the past.
Los Cowboys They have two first-round picks in next year’s draft after the trade of Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers before the start of the season. Currently, they own the 14th and 23rd picks in the first round.
Disappointed with 6-7-1 record, Jerry Jones He is optimistic about the future. The additions of defensive tackles Kenny Clark in the Parsons trade and Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets have impacted the interior of the defensive line.

“I love the structure of our team. I love the fundamentals of our team right now,” Jerry Jones said. “We have some exceptional players and we’re in good shape with our salary cap structure, and I really like the idea of having additional picks. I like what we’ve done throughout this year putting in place cornerstones that will help us going forward. So when I look at our future, our future looks bright. And again, I think we have key players in key positions. We have some big draft picks ahead of us and we have cap space to pay them. That’s why we’ve made some of the decisions we’ve made.”
Pickens’ future has been a major topic all season, as the Cowboys They have a chance to use the franchise tag to retain him in 2026. However, Pickens has been limited to eight catches for 70 yards in the team’s last two losses. Cowboys.
Asked if that has changed the team’s mind about keeping Pickens, the normally articulate Jerry Jones responded with a simple answer: “No.”
As for Parsons, who suffered a torn ACL in the Packers’ loss to the Denver Broncos, Jerry Jones said: “I’m sad for Micah. It’s quite a challenge. I wish him the best in his recovery. I always go back to what Michael Irvin said when he had his major surgery during his second year with the Cowboys. He said he realized what football really meant to him. He said the surgery really catapulted him to the best moments of his career because he was able to feel what it would be like to not play again. Micah, I wish you the best.”
