'Jerry Jones Is A Carnival Barker!' Florio Rips Owner

The Dallas Cowboys have been under fire recently for letting their coach, their quarterback and their best receiver hang out without contract extensions beyond this year.

All-Pro receiver CeeDee Lamb declared he would not show up to the Cowboys facility until he got a new contract extension. Earlier this week, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones declared he didn’t have any urgency to get the deal with Lamb done.

As you can imagine, it didn’t take long for that comment to make its rounds, resulting in Lamb retweeting the report with a simple “lol.''

Jerry’s comments may have pushed some buttons a little too much.

The combination of these situations led Pro Football Talk’s Mike Flori o to chime in.

"Why doesn't he have a sense of urgency to get CeeDee Lamb in camp?" Florio questioned. " The longer he misses ... is Lamb going to be as good as he was last year if he's not around the team?"

He has a point. Lamb, as talented as he is, needs to be practicing and playing to get into game shape. That’s nothing new to the NFL.

After pointing that out, Florio lit into Jerry.

"Jerry Jones is a carnival barker, a huckster, a snake oil salesman," Florio said. “And the worst thing that could happen for him is for his fans to figure it out."

Watch out. Mike Florio is coming in hot!

"He's about making money," Florio declared. "He knows the way to make money is to have a team that everybody wants to talk about all the time. Have a team that can steal the spotlight from other teams that are playing games, other leagues that are playing games, from the Olympics, from anything. 'Pay attention to us, talk about us."

The Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world with an estimated value of $9 billion with an annual revenue of over $1 billion.

Those are financial facts. What about football facts?

Without Lamb, the Cowboys don’t have a realistic chance to reach the goals they, and their fans, have set for them.

Florio insists that Cowboys ownership doesn't really care about those goals.

"Don't tell me you're trying to win a championship when you're really not doing what you need to do to get the infrastructure of your team in position to compete for a championship,” Florio concluded.
