• Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show, Aikman said Jones gives the impression he will "stir it up" to keep Dallas a discussion point, which he argued can supersede winning.
• Aikman emphasized he still believes Jones wants to win, yet said valuation, exposure and drama can operate as the "scoreboard" instead of on-field results.
• His critique followed Dallas trading Micah Parsons to the Packers one week before the season opener, a move critics cite as evidence of skewed priorities.
• Aikman referenced Jones’ comments from a recent Netflix docuseries that the Cowboys are a year-round "soap opera" and that he sometimes stirs things up.
