Football fans are teeing off on Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones after the NFC East rival Washington Commanders pulled off a blockbuster trade for San Francisco 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel.

On Saturday night, news emerged that the Commanders acquired Deebo Samuel for a fifth-round pick. The 2021 All-Pro had requested a trade from the 49ers after a disappointing 2024 season.

Needless to say, it was a lost opportunity for Jones and the Cowboys. The 49ers were happy to give away an explosive playmaker for a low price, and one of Dallas’ archrivals got him for nothing more than a day-three pick.

Folks on social media pointed out that in November, Jones gave up a 2025 fourth-round pick to land wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers. Mingo finished with five catches for 46 yards in eight games with the Cowboys.

Jungle RoarJungle Roar Skinny Bengals Postgame Pod Bengals blow another chance in BaltimoreBALTIMORE — The Bengals again failed to protect a double-digit second half lead against the Ravens and fell 35-34 at M&T Bank Stadium Thursday night. The Bengals had a chance to win the game with 38 seconds left on a two-point conversion but Joe Burrow’s pass for Tanner Hudson fell incomplete. Burrow had drawn the Bengals within one on his fourth touchdown of the game – and third to Ja’Marr Chase, who finished with 11 catches for 264 yards and touchdowns of 67, 70 and five yards. Trags and Skinny discuss the key breakdowns and how it all got away from the Bengals and where the blame should go after this gut-punching loss. Learn more about your ad choices.

“And only got a 5th for Amari Cooper,” one fan noted.

“i will say this until im blue… the mingo trade is one of the worst trades in NFL history,” another quipped.

“Another reason why the owner should not be the GM,” a fan remarked.

“Just embarrassing,” wrote a user.

“It hurts,” said a fan.

‘That -right there- tells you how pathetic and stuid our FO is. There is nothing to explain, cover or “understand” The Jonses -who are billionares- are terrible at being in command of an NFL franchise. period,” wrote another.

Jones is no stranger to making mind-numbing mistakes as the Dallas Cowboys’ general manager. Remember, he claimed the team couldn’t “afford” to sign star running back Derrick Henry, who was vocal about his desire to join America’s Team.

The Cowboys need a No. 2 receiver to help CeeDee Lamb, but they missed out on the chance to land Deebo Samuel. But hey, maybe Jonathan Mingo will end up filling that role.

Deebo Samuel Would Have Been A Great Fit In Dallas

Samuel’s production has declined since his 2021 breakout season, largely because the 49ers have so many other stars on their offense. Now that he has a change of scenery, Samuel is more than capable of regaining that All-Pro form.

The Cowboys don’t have any game-changing weapons outside of CeeDee Lamb, so missing out on a Samuel trade has to be frustrating for long-suffering Dallas fans.
