Derrick Henry, who’s coming off an impressive season with the Baltimore Ravens, put himself out there for the Dallas Cowboys a year ago, when he entered free agency. And things went absolutely sideways as Jerry Jones made no move toward him, citing financial reasons. But that’s not all he did.
While appearing on the Cowboys star Micah Parsons‘ show, The Edge with Micah Parsons, Henry circled to the conversation of his free agency before signing with the Ravens. Though the veteran running back didn’t want to discuss the matter initially, Parsons complained about why he didn’t inform him about the change of location.
Interestingly, before Henry could respond, a person in the audience shouted that he should have called Dallas General Manager and owner Jones and asked for Parsons’ number. And that’s where Henry did not hold himself from revealing that Jones actually blocked his number. “Jerry got my number blocked. I couldn’t even get it. I couldn’t even call Jerry,” replied Henry quickly.

Jones’ inaction towards Henry was followed by heavy criticism from the fans, yet it hardly impacted the franchise. Unfortunately, they seem to be doing it all over again with Myles Garrett’s availability, for whom Parsons has been offered to take a pay cut. But it’s been over a week and there have been no flying rumors or speculations that Jones is even considering approaching Garrett– despite him being clearly interested.
Micah Parsons explained why Cowboys are not the right fit for Derrick Henry
As the conversation began turning to Jones’ handling of the star running back’s interest in joining the Cowboys, the three-time Pro Bowler reframed the discussion, explaining why Henry and the Cowboys were never meant to be in light of his spectacular season in Baltimore.
I was telling somebody last night, it was like, are you upset that Derrick Henry didn’t come to Dallas. I said no, that’s not how God works. He was exactly where he was supposed to be. Year eight, nine of his career, still going for 1,800 yards, playoffs. He was exactly where he was supposed to be. I’m happy that he didn’t get ruined by us!
Micah Parsons said
Even though the Cowboys need to improve several areas following the humiliating end to the 2024 season, Jones, Parsons, and Henry seem to concur that the four-time Pro Bowler is better off having not signed with Dallas. Although fans were insistent that he would have been an ideal fit, it reflects a reality that they’re likely familiar with.
