Summary

As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the 2026 season, Broncos legend Mark Schlereth has accused team owner Jerry Jones of being a major factor in the franchise's challenges. Although Dallas has improved its roster by adding talent and reshaping its defense, Schlereth's three-word response to a question about Jones being the cause of the Cowboys' issues—'All the above'—highlights ongoing concerns about Jones' dual role as owner and general manager.
