'I couldn’t care less about Jerry Jones': Terrell Owens doesn't hold back on controversial Cowboys owner

A former Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver didn't mince his words on an important member of the NFC East franchise.

Terrell Owens has never been one to sugarcoat his feelings, and his latest comments about the Dallas Cowboys prove that some grudges never fade. The Hall of Fame wide receiver, who spent three seasons with the franchise from 2006 to 2008, made it crystal clear where he stands with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones—and it's not a warm embrace.

In a recent interview with Action Network's Kyle Odegard, Owens didn't hold back when asked about his former boss. "I couldn't care less about Jerry Jones," Owens said bluntly. "I don't concern myself with the Cowboys. The Cowboys haven't concerned themselves with me since I left there. That's speaking of Jerry Jones or anybody really from that organization."

It's a striking statement from a player who once wore the star with pride, but the history between Owens and Jones is well-documented. During his tenure in Dallas, Owens put up impressive numbers—three straight seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards and 38 total touchdowns—but friction behind the scenes was constant. The relationship reached a breaking point in 2009 when the Cowboys released Owens in a move that the receiver has said caught him completely off guard.

Jones, for his part, has built a legacy as one of the NFL's most influential owners. He's won three Super Bowls, earned NFL Executive of the Year honors in 2014, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017. But his tenure has also been marked by controversial decisions, from parting ways with legendary coach Jimmy Johnson to the messy end of his partnership with Owens.

Now at 52, Owens remains unapologetic about his stance. "The way things ended there with the Cowboys, I couldn't care less. I have nothing to say about them," he added. For fans who remember the electric connection between Owens and quarterback Tony Romo, it's a reminder that even the brightest on-field moments can't always heal the wounds of a bitter breakup. And for the Cowboys, it's just another chapter in a long history of complicated relationships with their biggest stars.
