Jerry Jones discusses the Dallas Cowboys' lack of pursuit of Derrick Henry

Another week, another interview for Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, making his first appearance on Shan & RJ on Audacy's 105.3 The Fan since his heated argument last week with the network's hosts over the team's lack of offseason moves.

Jones expressed surprise at the attention the incident received and suggested it was not as significant as was made out to be.

“I’m surprised there was so much attention last week,” Jones said. “I love your work.”

Before being asked to do so, Jones brought up the topic of running back Derrick Henry, who the Cowboys were reportedly looking to sign in the offseason.

Henry, a three-time All-Pro, currently leads the league with 873 rushing yards. He helped the Ravens to their fifth straight win on Monday night, 41-31 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he rushed for 169 yards. This was his fourth 100-yard rushing performance of the season and his third performance with over 150 rushing yards.

Jones dismissed the speculation, stating that Henry's style of play did not fit well with Dallas' offense and that his high salary demands made it difficult to reach the team's cap.

“I don’t know if he would have a career year in our situation,” Jones said. “We don’t run that kind of offense at all. Derrick Henry didn’t fit (due to salary cap compliance).”

The veteran defenseman was reportedly interested in joining the Cowboys last offseason, but Henry made it clear that the Cowboys never contacted him.

The Cowboys must now face the consequences of missing out on a player who could have significantly improved their offense. They currently rank last in the league in rushing yards and are averaging just 77.2 yards per game after seven weeks.

In contrast, the Ravens lead the way with an impressive average of 210.9 rushing yards per game.
