Overview

• Troy Aikman told The Rich Eisen Show that Jones has “given the impression” keeping Dallas a constant discussion point can outweigh on‑field priorities.
• Aikman cited Jones’ comments about doing things to keep the Cowboys talked about and said the attention and drama can become the “scoreboard.”
• He added that Jones still wants to win, noting Dallas’ 30-year absence from a conference title game and only four playoff wins in that span.
• The critique followed Dallas trading star defender Micah Parsons to the Packers after contract negotiations collapsed, leaving the Cowboys to start the season without him.
• Aikman contrasted Dallas with Philadelphia, lauding Howie Roseman’s roster management and calling the Eagles the NFC’s team to beat.
