Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took the opposite approach when it came to his cancer diagnosis. It actually gave him strength and motivation, he said.
Funny enough, well not really funny, but Jones admitted he did not know his cancer was terminal prior to an experimental drug treatment. He’s at full health at the twilight of his career with the Cowboys.
So there’s no time like the present to try and win another Super Bowl before it’s all said and done. Jones indicated the Micah Parsons trade sets them up with more capital and players and a chance to be more successful. It’s a wait-and-see-approach, but Jones’ motivation is certainly there.
“No, not at all, really,” Jones said on Good Morning America. “It was motivational, and it basically gave strength. I can look no further than the players on the field out here. These guys play hurt, and they line up out there every day and go and there’s no question that being around that atmosphere makes you realize that it’s really okay if you don’t feel all right.”
Jones, 82, heads into the 2025 season with the Cowboys looking to return to the playoffs and make a run. Dallas is searching for their first Super Bowl title since Super Bowl XXX from the 1995-96 season.
