Jerry Jones vows to spend big to fix Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys made the two biggest trades of the 2025 NFL season.

Trading Micah Parsons sent shockwaves through the league, and adding Quinnen Williams brought life back to the team, at least on paper. Now, after a 7-9-1 season and a missed playoff berth, team owner/GM Jerry Jones isn't going to sit on his laurels.

Jerry Jones vows to "bust the budget" to help Cowboys

Talking to the media, the controversial business mogul made it loud and clear that money won't be an issue for this team.

"We want to get out here and do better than we did this year. (There’s) the incentive to, dare I say it, bust the budget to try to get something done now? Yes. Yes," Jones said, per The Athletic's Jon Machota.

Jones then added that the only reason they did the Micah Parsons trade in the first place was so the team could be more competitive, so he's now willing to do whatever it takes to lead the team back to contention.

"We’ll do some dramatic things. That was a dramatic thing we did (trading Micah Parsons). We didn’t do it not to win games. The point is, this calls for some pretty controversial decisions," Jones added. "We’re gonna keep this thing as good as we can possibly be. Finances are no object. We’re gonna make it as entertaining as we can and keep it as lively as we can for everybody."

Still, getting the team back to the top might be easier said than done. They still need to figure out what to do with George Pickens' impending free agency, and they've already committed a lot of money into Williams, CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott.

While money should never be a concern for a billionaire like Jerry Jones, the Cowboys still need to abide by the salary cap. And with not that much flexibility there, it'll be interesting to see how he juggles his way around the cap to help his team.
