The NFL used to be a profit sharing entity, and still is for the most part.
However as mentioned, Jerry fought this, and wanted control of his own sales. As capitalism shows, why should his sales go to a smaller markets when they do not do anything to market their brand, they just get an equal % of the sales of all NFL items.
I believe at the time Kraft and Davis supported Jerry in this once he showed how much money they can make by marketing it themselves. Now I am not sure if they followed Jerry in his way of doing things, but he did have some support.

Now it is probably only for merchandise deals Jerry makes, but any NFL deals, they probably still split. Jerry did his own deal with Pepsi when the NFL had Coke. Jerry won the right to have, say Reebok make items when the NFL had Nike. So Jerry kept all his Reebok sales.

I am sure there are probably stipulations, or maybe the NFL gets a share of the Cowboys sales, but just not as much as it used to be.

When Jerry took over the Cowboys, they were still a leader in the sales, them and the Raiders. They accounted for around 20% of the sales in the NFL, and the Bengals were around 28th at maybe 3%. So his argument was why should Cincinnati get his profits. The NFL said of course it keeps all teams afloat. So what does Jerry do, he goes out and negotiates HUGE TV contracts then all teams are very happy, as now they made more money than the annual sales.

Jerry got FOX, still up and coming at the time to bid way more than any other TV contract ever, and they had no one in place to run the TV football operations, but it worked. Now they fight over these TV contracts in spite of claiming they lose money...BS, no way the lose money.

Sorry, got off on a tangent there. LOL.

Good post,Jazzy!:thumbup:

And if that's what's considered "off tangent" I've been stumbling around in the dark in it's attemptso_O
( bro,you added 100% input to the question, although not in a crystal clear clarification, the issue is a bit clearer than the mud it was previously viewed)

This thread is going to attract a lot of Dak haters and his haters probably out number his supporters. From what I’ve seen on this board you might have to go back to the mid to late 80s to find a Cowboys QB that’s received as much abuse from the fan base as Dak. Most of the hate is coming from the Romo lovers.

I loved Romo, more than any other player we had. But it was his time....The problem with most fans, and our HC and OC, want Dak to be Romo. He's not and that's not his game. I'm fine with Dak, he's a leader and a winner. We just need to build an offense for his skill set.

Jerry will add a clause in Dak's new contract that the Cowboys will pay a $3 million bonus if Dak legally changes his name to Presscott.

Heard Stephen discussing a Dak friendly offense. They have to tailor the offense to fit his game. What went down with Romo in 2016 happened real quick. One minute he was the starter and the next minute he was being released. We were able to adjust on the fly in 2016 because Romo going down in preseason gave us a little time. Our great running game in 2014 took a lot of pressure off Romo. He was able to lean on the running game that season as did Dak in 2016. The issues we had on the OL, at receiver and with Zeke’s suspension put too much on Dak’s shoulders.

We have to design an offense than isn’t so dependent on a great running game. There’s going to be games where we can’t run the ball well and there may be some games where Zeke is out with an injury. If it’s me I’m looking for a speed wide receiver with our first or second pick. We have to move those safeties back and stretch the field. We need to add some explosiveness to our passing game. We can’t just depend on Zeke for big plays and to run the ball consistently every single week. We also have to add a solid backup LT. We have a lot of work this offseason.

Isn't funny how Romo's biggest plays is when he went Jedi and scrambled around, and now Dak is doing the same thing in the passing game. This offense sucks, at least the passing game does.

Romo’s style was to Houdini spin his way around making plays but that style of play got him beat up. It required hanging onto the ball a long time. The passing game sucked in a few games but there were other games this season where it was good. Prior to Zeke’s suspension Dak had three straight games with 3 TD passes. He had 14 TD passes after the first seven games. With Zeke suspended he had a career game against the Giants with over 330 yards and 3 TD passes. A couple of solid player acquisitions and a few adjustments could turn this offense around real quick.

This isn't a good thing. I would rather see Cowboys merchandise tanking. This team doesn't deserve it's popularity. I wanna see that stadium two thirds empty next season also.

Bad sign, because Jerry worked out a deal that he doesn’t share any of the merchandise profits like the rest of the league....

No reason to bench any of the players..
