Jerry Jones responds to ESPN report on Dan Snyder: 'That's news to me'

Thursday, ESPN released a bombshell report about Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder, who alleged he had “dirt” on other NFL owners and commissioner Roger Goodell. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ name came up, and he had quite a response to the report on Friday.

During an appearance on 105.3 The Fan, Jones didn’t have much to say about the report other than much of it being “news” to him. Snyder apparently said Jones is “only out to get in your pocket. He’ll sell you down the river. You can’t trust him,” according to the report, and Snyder has lost Jones’ support.

When asked about that Friday, Jones didn’t have much to say.

“I don’t have that background at all, and so I don’t have anything to say about it other than I don’t know where people got the supposed resource from me,” Jones said, via ProFootballTalk. “I can only speak to that. I can’t speak to anything else that was said there. I’ve got a long relationship with Dan. It’s certainly a competitive one on the field, and one that is part of the NFL.

“Anything in that was news to me. And I don’t have those kinds of problems, but if … anybody wants to put something in my car or wants listen to something on the phone, get in line. Because I’m surely there’s a lot of it out there.”

ESPN Report: Dan Snyder has file on Jerry Jones, bad-mouthed Cowboys owner

A shocking report from ESPN on Thursday revealed that Washington owner Dan Snyder has allegedly “tracked” other team owners, and even NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. ESPN reporters spoke to more than 30 sources across the league who corroborated numerous stories about Snyder, including that he instructed his law firms to hire private investigators to get dirt on the league’s ownership group.

One specific example came from an owner who was allegedly told by Snyder that he “has dirt” on Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Another source confirmed that Snyder told a confidant that he has “a file” on Jones.

Jones has been one of the embroiled Commanders’ owner’s most important allies of late. However, that may be changing.

ESPN also revealed that Jones recently told confidants that he “might not be able” to protect Snyder any longer. The report claims Snyder has also “badmouthed” Jones. He told another owner recently that Jones is “only out to get in your pocket. He’ll sell you down the river. You can’t trust him,” a senior executive close to the owner said. “Snyder’s already lost Jerry,” the source added.
