Confirmed: Jerry Jones Finally Admits He Wasted Cowboys Fans’ Time with Trey Lance.

 

In a surprising revelation, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has admitted that the team’s decision to trade for quarterback Trey Lance may have been a misstep, calling it a “waste of time” for Cowboys fans. The confession comes months after the high-profile acquisition, which sparked excitement but has yet to yield significant results.

 

Jones addressed the matter during a press conference, candidly reflecting on the team’s investment in Lance. “We thought we were making a move that could bolster our quarterback depth and give us an edge,” Jones said. “But looking back, it’s fair to say we overestimated the impact and probably didn’t use our resources wisely.”

 

The Cowboys traded a fourth-round pick to acquire Lance from the San Francisco 49ers earlier this season. While the move was seen as a low-risk gamble, fans and analysts questioned the logic of bringing in a developmental quarterback with limited opportunities to play behind Dak Prescott.

 

Since joining the team, Lance has seen minimal action, raising doubts about whether the Cowboys had a clear plan for his integration. Critics have also pointed out that the draft pick used to acquire Lance could have been spent addressing other team needs.

 

Despite the admission, Jones was quick to emphasize that the team remains committed to learning from the experience. “Every decision is part of the journey, and while this one didn’t pan out, it won’t deter us from taking bold steps in the future,” he said.

 

The Cowboys’ season has been a mix of highs and lows, and Jones’s comments may add to the growing frustration among fans eager for postseason success. As for Lance, his future with the team remains uncertain, leaving questions about how he fits into the Cowboys’ long-term plans.
