However, he stressed that he is committed to working with Parsons and ensuring that the two are on the same page.
Jones also addressed concerns about his relationship with Parsons, saying that while they may have had some disagreements in the past, he believes they can work through their issues. He urged fans not to worry about the situation, stating that “don’t lose any sleep over it.”
The Cowboys’ owner is confident that the team has a bright future ahead with Parsons and emphasized that his decisions are guided by what’s best for the team.
