ARLINGTON, Texas – In a move that’s become almost as synonymous with Jerry Jones as sideline antics, the Dallas Cowboys owner orchestrated a late-night prank that sent shockwaves through the NFL world. Jones, addressing reporters after what he termed a "productive" team meeting, initially declared that the 2025 season would be his last at the helm.
"After much deliberation," Jones stated, with a surprisingly solemn tone, "I've decided that 2026 will be the year I relinquish control. The team will be sold, and I will retire to a life of leisure." He added that no buyers had been confirmed at the time.
The announcement, initially met with stunned silence, quickly erupted into a flurry of social media speculation and hurried phone calls between sports analysts and reporters. Was this the end of an era? Were potential buyers already lining up?
