Chris Long suggests Jerry Jones is purposefully sabotaging one Dallas Cowboys player
Former NFL veteran Chris Long thinks Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants to reduce the value of one player. The Dallas Cowboys haven’t been able to win consistently this season, as reflected in the team’s 4-5 record.
Former NFL star Chris Long has suggested that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones may be deliberately undermining the value of one of their players. The Cowboys have struggled this season, posting a 4-5 record, which has led fans and analysts alike to call for a change in ownership. Long claims that Jones is "sandbagging" Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens.
Pickens is set to return to the team for a Week 10 game against the San Francisco 49ers after recovering from a hamstring injury. With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, Long believes that Jones is intentionally keeping Pickens' value low. "They’re sandbagging him so he’s cheap to re-sign," Long stated on the 'Green Light' podcast.
Long also noted that Pickens cannot be held responsible for the team's performance, but he has still faced criticism from fans. If Long's theory about Jones' strategy to reduce Pickens' value is true, the star receiver may decide to leave the team.
