Jerry Jones accused of 'idiotic' move that ruined Dak Prescott's MVP season originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Dallas Cowboys' defense was a problem throughout 2025, a collapse that began after Jerry Jones traded All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons before the season even kicked off. He was shipped to the Green Bay Packers for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks. Losing the generational talent completely shattered the team's pass rush.
However, Dak Prescott threw for 4,552 yards (3rd in the NFL), 30 touchdowns (4th in the NFL) and 10 interceptions for a stellar 99.5 passer rating. Despite his MVP-level performance, Dallas finished with an underwhelming 7-9-1 record and missed the playoffs.
With training camp underway, the frustration over that trade is boiling back up on X. Popular Cowboys **** yst and former defensive end J Tuck didn't sugarcoat how he felt about the front office wasting Prescott's elite season.
"You'll never get fans to admit the truth about the Micah trade it was idiotic and ruined a MVP season from our QB," Tuck wrote. "But we HAVE to move on and allow this defense to become something new it's not gonna be as [bad] as the DQ ERA but they 'should be' blue collar and get the job done just hold them to 23 points."
