Fans of the Dallas Cowboys, who were already miffed by the team’s 2-2 start, are also furious with owner Jerry Jones for his spectacular helicopter arrival during practice on Wednesday.
Team operations were momentarily halted as everyone watched the 81-year-old billionaire’s pilot carefully lower the helicopter to the turf on one of the empty fields at the Frisco team facilities.
On his approach to the sidelines, Jones then exited the chopper and exchanged high fives with quarterback Dak Prescott.
What a farce of an owner,” one fan remarked.
Others took issue with Jones’ choice to forego signing running back Derrick Henry in the offseason. Henry, who signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens, ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns in the team’s victory over Dallas on September 22.

Jones’ decision to pass on signing running back Derrick Henry during the offseason was criticized by some. Henry, who inked a $16 million, two-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, rushed for two touchdowns and 151 yards in the team’s September 22 victory over Dallas.
ones drew criticism over the offseason for maintaining head coach Mike McCarthy after failing to reach the Divisional Round of the playoffs for the third time in four seasons.
He also faced criticism during the protracted contract dispute of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, which came to a close shortly before the season when the All-Pro decided to accept a $136 million, four-year deal extension.
The Cowboys, who have won five Super Bowls, have only won one postseason game in the previous five years.
