Visibly frustrated Jerry Jones keeps making big moves but Cowboys keep losing

As if that was not enough frustration, he got up and walked out of his box before the clock even hit zero. 

When you look at the moves he has made over the past couple of years, it is not hard to see the desperation in everything he is doing. 

It just might not actually be for the long-term benefit of the franchise.

Or the short-term.

His decision to trade superstar edge-rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers before the 2025 season netted him defensive lineman Kenny Clark and two first-round picks, but it also helped send his defense to the bottom of the NFL. 

That trade was accompanied by the move for wide receiver George Pickens, the trade for defensive lineman Quinnen Williams, the trade for Rashan Gary and the most recent move for cornerback Joey Porter Jr. 

He's spent significant draft pick capital, he's spent big money to retain players like CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott and he seems to truly believe he has a team that is capable of winning right now. But after back-to-back seven-win seasons, and a team that is now 2-3 and was just humiliated at home by an undrafted rookie quarterback (Jalon Daniels), it is hard to imagine how he can believe that outside of major delusions. Maybe the reality is starting to set in.
