Summary

  • Terrell Owens used his new podcast to accuse Cowboys owner Jerry Jones of caring more about headlines and merchandise sales than winning, after Dallas opened the 2026 season with a loss to the Giants.
  • Owens said Jones was "just like Donald Trump" and showing "narcissism," arguing the 83-year-old keeps selling fans a Super Bowl dream while refusing to give up control.
  • Jones had said before training camp that contending for a Super Bowl was "not a reach," and after the Week 1 defeat he still said Dallas remained optimistic about its playoff and title chances.
  • Dallas has not returned to the Super Bowl since its 1996 championship under Jones, even as the franchise has become the NFL's most valuable team at an estimated $15.5 billion to $17 billion.
