With a visit to the rival Giants on deck on Thursday, Jones knows the Cowboys have “a lot of work to do” if they want to right the ship and get back on track.
Jerry Jones On Why The Dallas Cowboys Didn’t Sign Derrick Henry
The Dallas Cowboys saw firsthand why they should’ve signed Derrick Henry this offseason.
Everybody inside AT&T Stadium was forced to watch Henry, wearing a Baltimore Ravens uniform, light up his team as the Cowboys fell to the Ravens 28-25 on Sunday.
Baltimore ran all over the Dallas defense to the tune of 275 yards. Henry finished with 151 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries, while quarterback Lamar Jackson rushed for 84 yards.
After another loss in Week 3, Jerry Jones made it clear that the team did not have the money to get Derrick Henry on the team.
“We couldn’t afford [Henry],” said Jones.
The Cowboys once again entered the year with high expectations despite a quiet offseason.
The team lost running back Tony Pollard to the Titans while reuniting with former first-round pick Ezekiel Elliott, who spent last season in New England.
