Weeden Slams Jerry Jones, Hope He Watches Playoffs ‘On His Couch’
Weeden began the season with Dallas, but was claimed by Houston after Jerry Jones’ team uncermoniously cut him. Jerry Jones eventually traded for Matt Cassel and after the teams week seven bye, Garrett named Cassel the starter and Weeden was eventually released from the Cowboys.

UPDATE: During Jones’ weekly radio appearance on Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan, he said of Weeden, “I’m really proud for him”, and may have taken aswipe at his own coaching staff when he added, “I’m proud for Houston that they’ve come up with a way to use him in a way that can win a game”.
“Absolutely. We get to play extra football and he’ll be watching on his couch”. That’s what it’s all about.
Jerry hints that if they’d had Cassel the whole time instead of playing Weeden they’d have felt better about winning games.
When asked about the possibility of Houston going to the playoffs when Dallas will be sitting at home, Weeden didn’t mince words. Again, Weeden delivered as he completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a 34-6 beatdown.
Jones, who had said his team played too conservatively with Weeden, didn’t have an issue with his former quarterback’s comments.
“And we looked at some of the best ones that were there, and he said we got a better one than that right out here on the practice field in Brandon Weeden”. Nate Washington said some really nice things after last week’s win, which I really appreciated. And I’m not anointing him necessarily one way or the other. They understand how this league works. We have not done enough things in some of these games that we lost on our way to this record that we could have won. By clinching the division, the Texans would find themselves in the playoffs for the first time since 2012. If Brian Hoyer’s concussion recovery is prolonged (although reports say he could return as early as this Sunday), the six AFC playoff quarterbacks could be Weeden, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Alex Smith, AJ McCarron and Brock Osweiler.

“I think the thing that motivates me to address it, both short and long term, [is] Romo’s relatively short – three to five [years left] – and then long term with a prospect that might be a future, is the fact that we’re close”, Jones said.
