Jourdan Lewis is done with a decade of frustration.

[phildadon86]

So it was GB, why not SF?!

San Fran wasn’t the first 7 seed to blowout a home team the way Green Bay did

 

[coult44]

cowboys fans: Jerry is the single biggest reason for the downfall. Couldn't build a team if you gave him the first 20 picks in the draft.

Same fans: how dare a player indicate they are frustrated with their experience here.

+1000000

 

[coult44]

No one is angry.
It is funny how our own so called fans love when former players do this. It means nothing but what it is. Sour grapes they are not still here. Stealing Jerry money.

As they know if they got a big contract they would not have to put in a. Effort as they know they will be injured and sit out when they could play.

Lewis and Tank were both good players. It’s not sour grapes. It’s the truth. They were sick of being in a dysfunctional organization:

 

[shabazz]

Only because they ain’t get paid. But you can’t really disagree with what they said.

There is a definite theme coming from all or most of the players that this place isn't run like a typical NFL organization.

Many players in the NFL leave teams for more money elsewhere but there isn't that steady stream of criticism directed to any team as much as this one.

The reality is that they aren't telling us anything we don't already know.....they're just verifying it over and over and over again.

 

[stuckindc]

Yeah. Last night I was negative on DLaw, but maybe things are worse behind the scenes than we thought. I still don't like guys taking parting shots--but maybe their frustration through the years was that bad.

It’s good that the Jones have to hear this. It’s long overdue. Maybe it will finally force their hands to allow real football minds to bring Dallas back.

 

[cristglo]

He probably means years of being frustrated with the head office offering him peanuts when he knows he is worth more. So he took the more this time. I ain't mad at him.

I agree we have no way of knowing what Jerry offered him or Dlaw

 

[Cowfan75Lives]

It’s Jerry’s toy. Him and his kids.

It’s about time people started calling him out. Wait until we get into the six win season that’s upcoming.

6 at best. I'm guessing lower.

 

[Cmac]

Jourdan one of the few that cared on the team.

.....so what he said, has to mean something or have some merit. We certainly can't keep believing the mess that comes out of Jerry and Stephen's mouths

 

[heir]

I'm sure it was no where near 10 mil. Probably close to 2-3 which is what he played for last year.

 

[panchucko]

Isn’t it something how the truth comes out once these guys are no longer beholden to the Joneses for a paycheck.

i have always wondered why other players have never said anything after leaving.

 

[Ranching]

Damn, makes you wonder what Zack Martin and Tyron Smith think about the organization.

They may be grateful for the millions they made, or maybe they just have more class than to act like a spoiled idiot. He's not only talking bad about the organization, he's talking crap about himself and teammates....they were the ones on the field. To hell with that type of player.

 

[EPL0c0]

I can't blame him for taking a payday. He worked hard and earned it.

What he said doesn't sound like a shot at Dallas/teammates. Sounded more like he just felt he deserved more. Can't argue with that. It's a business.

 

[EPL0c0]

That’s the concerning thing.

Peyton Hendershot talked about the difference in culture in KC vs Dallas.

I took it as him saying it's the difference between being a football player (KC) and being a brand ambassador (Dallas).

I wonder if guys are willing to go ANYWHERE else just go get away from Dallas. Because that would suck

I suppose there’s a best NFL franchise to play for and a worst one to play for. Every other team is somewhere in between. Unless you’ve played for all 32 of them you can discuss your experiences, but I’d be reluctant to make disparaging remarks, DLaw, as they don’t help your career. These careers can end in a moment.

I’ll admit, comments by so many players that have moved on would indicate Dallas isn’t the best place to be an NFL player unless you’re such a big NFL star you’re above whatever is going on in “Jerry’s World”.

 

[gimmesix]

Before FA period started. Lewis said he wanted to stay in Dallas. Now he is gone, because Jerry did not think he was worth $30 million.

He is full of sour grapes. Adios. But our fans will eat this up.
Join DLaw at the campfire and whine about it.

Doesn't mean they can't be frustrated. Players want to get paid, but they like to win, too. If they see the team that is paying them isn't doing everything to win, I'm sure that doesn't sit well.

It's taken years for a lot of our fans to figure out that the Joneses aren't going to go after top free agents. Just because a player re-signs with us doesn't mean that they know we are not going to do it.

Now, I agree that both Lawrence and Lewis would have re-signed with Dallas if the money was right, but now that they are gone, I see no problem with them saying they were frustrated by it.

 

[Floatyworm]

Wow. Some damning comments emanating from Dallas this week. Things may be worse than even the fans thought.

I'm sure if it....you honestly need to take the game day experience to heart and realize how greedy the Joneses really are.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

So he went to Jacksonville, makes sense

 

[NotForLong]

To be fair, JLew is correct, but again, it's besides the point. Right or wrong, why be negative? I thought it was a brotherhood in Dallas!? No? Much has been revealed about that lockerroom last few days. It ain't what we been told. It was void of men and actionable leadership. Cohesion didn't exist obviously. Now it's beginning to make sense under McCarthys tenure. I think he was completely tired of the circus and couldn't get it under control. Too many folks with an agenda. Jerry is one of them. Hopefully Shotty can change that. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Well we all know who the "Locker Room" leader is

I know some around here view it as them being petty or bad teammates but I'm glad to see some stand up and call the Dallas Clown Show out
