The 2024 NFL trade deadline is still three weeks away, but Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has already decided on how he’ll approach it.
Jerry Jones is facing plenty of calls from fans and pundits to make significant changes following a humiliating 47-9 home loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Jones told reporters that he wasn’t thinking about firing head coach Mike McCarthy, and he had already decided against acting at the trade deadline.
Per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, Jones said the Cowboys wouldn’t be “active” at the Nov. 5 trade deadline. Jones added that coaching and coordinator changes aren’t being explored now.
So as always, Jerry Jones believes there is no need to change an obviously flawed roster. It’s not surprising considering that his idea of going “all-in” this offseason was to make zero big splashes while bidding farewell to several key starters from 2023.
“I hate, I detest, I despise someone that will prey on the weak…If the Cowboys don’t win another playoff game or another game as long as Jerry Jones is the owner, I’ll be the happiest man in the world.” Shannon Sharpe torched Jerry Jones for threatening Dallas radio host. pic.twitter.com/ueGFczSdgO

The Cowboys went almost two full seasons without losing in the regular season at home, but they’re 0-3 at AT&T Stadium this season. Their three victories have come on the road, though defeating the one-win Cleveland Browns (Week 1) and New York Giants (Week 4) isn’t all that impressive.
Dallas is on a bye this week before they travel to San Francisco to take on the rival 49ers at Levi’s Stadium in Week 8. At this rate, it’s going to take several more humiliating losses for Jerry Jones to consider any significant changes, but history tells us he’ll stand pat and let the season play out.
Jerry Jones Can’t Accept He’s The Problem
Jones is the owner and the general manager of the Cowboys. If he’s the genius he thinks he is, why haven’t the Cowboys reached an NFC Championship Game since 1995? Why does Dallas have two playoff wins since Dak Prescott’s arrival in 2016? Why is the team barely 3-3 with a roster that he thinks is good enough to win a championship?
As long as Jones continues to do things his way, the Dallas Cowboys will remain mired in mediocrity. He just can’t accept that it’s his decision making that has put the team in this spot and far away from a Super Bowl.
Travis Kelce Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
