A new report has shined a light into the problems the Dallas Cowboys front office had in 2024, leading to their promising season falling well below expectations.
Team owner Jerry Jones, and his son, Cowboys executive Stephen Jones, clashed over how the team spends its money.
In the highly critical report, the 82-year-old elder Jones want to spend money with no limits.
Stephen, 60, on the other hand is the ‘exact opposite’, per Go Long. He is ‘always looking for the deal’ in the same vein of Billy Beane’s Moneyball technique. The younger Jones ‘abhors’ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ money.
‘Sometimes Jerry wins and sometimes Stephen wins,’ a longtime Cowboys executive said in the report. ‘And it just becomes very erratic.’
‘If you’re going to go all Moneyball, then go all Moneyball and do it that way, but you can’t be throwing all this money to Dak Prescott and then shortchange the rest [of] the team. I mean it’s sort of schizophrenic that way.’

‘Because there isn’t a consistent philosophy that drives their thinking and their decisions. That’s a problem. That’s what showed up in the offseason where Jerry’s like “I’m all in.”‘

I guarantee he was all in. Then, he got in the room with Stephen – and the other guys who were aligned with Stephen – and then it was like, “OK, we’re going to play it safe and we’re going to try to get the best deal for the team.”‘
‘And then they end up signing Dak and CeeDee [Lamb]. Those signings aren’t done early, they’re done late.’
The Cowboys’ problems compounded in 2024, with the franchise entering next season with the longest streak without a conference-championship appearance in the NFC after their rival, the Washington Commanders, struck gold with Jayden Daniels and are two wins away from a Super Bowl.
Dallas ended the season 7-10 and are one of four teams with a head-coaching vacancy after letting Mike McCarthy walk away.
It sure appears the NFL has pᴀssed the Jones family by after a disappointing 2024 encapsulated three decades since the Cowboys’ last Super Bowl тιтle.
