Jerry Jones addresses his future as GM of the Cowboys

Jerry Jones has faced criticism for years from people who believe he should step down as general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, but it does not sound like the 83-year-old has any intention of surrendering his day-to-day responsibilities.

Barring a late-season miracle, the Cowboys are going to miss the playoffs for the second consecutive year. They have not advanced past the divisional round of the postseason since 1995, which was the last time they won the Super Bowl.

Most Cowboys fans feel like the team has underachieved for years, and 2025 is no exception. Dallas is 6-7-1 entering a tough Sunday home game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The disappointing campaign has led to renewed calls for Jones to let someone else have the final say over roster decisions.

Jerry Jones believes in "continuity"

During a Friday appearance on 105.3 The Fan, Jones said he still firmly believes that having himself, the owner of the Cowboys, serve as the team's general manager is beneficial.

"When you get a new general manager, he’s always thinking about, let’s get a new coach or let’s get a new quarterback or let’s get a new tackle," Jones said. "Anytime you can create continuity, and of course that’s what we’re dealing with on our defense right now, too. Anytime that you start mitigating continuity, you’re gonna pay a price. That’s not good when you’re turning it over."
