Jerry on Derrick Henry: I dont know if he'd be having a career year for us

[Risen Star]

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on @1053thefan for the first time since he got angry about their questions regarding Dallas’ lack of offseason moves: “I’m surprised that last week got the attention it got.”

Before being asked, Jones brought up the Cowboys not having interest in signing RB Derrick Henry in the offseason: “I don’t know if he’d be having a career year in our situation. … We don’t run that type of offense at all. … Derrick Henry didn’t fit (because of) managing the (salary) cap.”

"Trust me as you watch Henry be Henry every week....we were still right about this."

It is a lie to say he couldn't fit because of the cap but he definitely wouldn't be averaging 3+ yards before contact....

Lol Jerry that's the truth, our old offense, and we're paying a QB that you knew you were going to pay 60 million. Why get him and we want Dak to throw the ball and give us our 60 million dollars worth of play. The Cowboys had a plan, the plan was to not be good, getting a Henry would cause the ball to be out of Dak's hands.

 

[Cowfan75Lives]

Well, he's right about one thing...we DON'T run that type of offense, which is a good one.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

The more he keeps yapping, the more you don’t believe him. Typical narcissist, he doesn’t make mistakes, has it all figured out, justifies his lies. He said himself, he doesn’t want anyone to contradict him.

TIRED OF HEARING about Henry not being here, hopefully it ends today, if he were in this offense, he'd be a BUM, and we'd be complaining that we're giving him 8 million for doing nothing!! Lol

Square peg in a round hole.

I would have more respect for Jerry if he admits..........I screwed up like he did with Moss.

Lets hear what grampy has to say about it. I would go to that guy for advice on adult diapers. That's about it.

Worst GM ever.

Well Risen there are many posters on this forum that insist signing Henry would be a waste and he wouldn't have added value here. Maybe Jerry has a bunch of ghost accounts.

I'm wondering if some of these Henry naysayers are even interested in trying to get better. I'm negative as can be towards the Cowboys because they've earned it, but I still want to try and get better. Signing Henry was the fourth biggest no brainer of the off-season, behind firing the GM, not signing Dak, and firing the HC.

Derrick Henry is an all-time great at the position. Would be our best back since the goat.

To say he couldnt thrive is dumb as hell, even for Jerry

This says more about Jerry and Jerry's leadership (or lack thereof) than anything else. It's what irritated me about JG. JG wanted players to fit his system and not the other way around. Good leadership does just the opposite. It's not hard.

Would've only cost $6 mil to find out.

Same here, this was his 2024 Randy Moss

 

[Mr_437]

So Jerry said this unprompted? Interesting. Sounds like a negative to his offense to say you can't plug in a Top RB and he be successful.

Perhaps Henry wouldn't be getting some of the yards he's getting in Bmore.......but he wouldn't be 37th in rushing, for sure.
