Jerry Jones had a tense exchange with a pair of radio hosts that asked him about the Dallas Cowboys torrid 3-3 start to the 2024 NFL season.

On Tuesday, Jones made his weekly appearance on Audacy's 105.3 The Fan, and he was asked if the Cowboys' offseason moves contributed to the mediocre start. According to Jones, he didn't want to discuss something that didn't pertain to the radio hosts and claimed that the hosts were focusing too much on the negatives while adding that it wasn't their job to ask about offseason moves.

"Listen, let me tell you what I'll do about it, I will let us sit down and look at the decisions we've made over the last several years. OK? I'll look at it," said Jones. "Now if you think I'm interested on a damn phone call with you over the radio and sitting here and throwing all the good out with the dishwater, you'd have got to be smoking something over there this morning. I'm not."

He continued, "And I really don't ... and I don't even want our listeners listening to me talk about. This is not your job. Your job isn't to let me go over the reasons that I did something and I'm sorry that I did it. That's not your job. That's not your job or I'll get somebody else to ask these questions, men. No, no. I'm not kidding. You're not going to figure out what the team is doing right or wrong. If you are, or any five or 10 like you, you need to come to this [NFL] meeting that I'm going to today with 32 teams here, you're geniuses. OK. Y'all really think you're going to sit here with a microphone and tell me all of the things that I've done wrong and without going over the rights?"

Jones then went into a diatribe about the Cowboys' current roster and defended how he made the right choices in the offseason that would benefit the team. He also highlighted how the team secured record-breaking deals with quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

Jones's comments came after the Cowboys were crushed by the Detroit Lions 47-9 on Sunday, which also happened to be the owner's 82nd birthday. The loss was also the team's worst home loss since Jones purchased the team in 1989.
