NFL Legend Jason Kelce Refuses to Apologize to Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones
NFL legend Jason Kelce has made his opinion of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones very clear. To be more specific, the Philadelphia Eagles icon shared his brutally honest view on how Jones’ big move before the NFL trade deadline transformed the Cowboys into a much more formidable team.
Kelce had a lot to say about Jones and the Cowboys on the latest episode of his “New Heights” podcast alongside his brother, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce . Jason Kelce praised Jones for bringing in Quinnen Williams in a blockbuster trade deal, but the legendary center is adamant that he will not be apologizing to the 83-year-old team owner.

Why the Cowboys’ Win Over Philly Is a PROBLEM for the Chiefs…
“New Heights” released a new episode on Wednesday, and, as usual, the brothers discussed developments in the NFL. One of the topics they covered was that the Cowboys have gone undefeated since the trade deadline, when Jones pulled the trigger on a blockbuster deal with the New York Jets for All-Pro defensive lineman Quinnen Williams.
However, when asked if he believes he owes Jones an apology, Kelce was confused.
“Do we owe Jerry an apology? Who owes Jerry an apology? What do I have to apologize for?” Kelce asked. “They [expletive] sucked! What are we talking about? Their defense was horrendous.
“So good job! What do we owe an apology for? Hey, your car doesn’t work. Oh, I went and got it fixed. Oh, we owe you an apology for saying your car [expletive] broke down and didn’t work on the side of the road? I don’t owe [expletive] an apology.”
The Cowboys have gone 2-0 since Williams’ arrival, including Sunday’s massive comeback victory against Kelce’s former team, the Eagles.
While Kelce has refused to apologize to Jones, he admitted that the Cowboys owner deserves praise for his decision to bring in an elite-caliber player in Williams.
“We owe Jerry Jones a clap of approval,” Kelce said. “I’ll say this, and I’ll stand on this, and I think the guys will back me. When Jerry said we were gonna make a trade, I think everybody’s expecting an edge player to replace Micah [Parsons]. When they said it was Quinnen, immediately, I thought this is better for that defense.
“Because for years, they have lacked the raw, man strength, big power in the heart of that defense. They have lacked that type of presence, and Quinnen brings that. I just think for moving forward, this is a great piece to build around. I think it’s a great move by Jerry.
“I don’t think I owe him a [expletive] apology, but I’ll say great [expletive] job.”
Williams and the Cowboys are going to be back in action on Thursday for a high-profile Thanksgiving game. They will face Travis Kelce and the Chiefs in what is expected to be a thrilling affair between two teams who have a lot of momentum on their side.
