Jerry Jones Legends and Other Teams

[khiladi]

This article is pretty wild, as it reflects Jerry Jones tentacles on not just the Cowboys in the NFL. Jones is making a lot of money off other teams, via their stadiums through his company Legends. Three of the teams are or were just in the playoffs, including the one we are playing today in the 49ers. Legends is in LA, Atlanta, SF and Vegas.

But Jones is also marketing and selling the stadium as well doing the concessions through Legends, just as he is with San Francisco 49ers and Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and the Oakland Raiders’ prospective new stadium in Las Vegas.

This tidbit is interesting. I know they didn’t imply it, but I wonder is this ‘business interest’ impacts why the Cowboys don’t really target Free Agents anymore.

And no one cares that they are essentially helping Jones make even more money to put back into the Cowboys.

“It’s great to help Jerry make money,” Demoff said. “You want to hire the best. They are the best. If that ends up going to the Cowboys, as long they are not trying to spend it on (Rams all-pro defensive tackle) Aaron Donald, we are fine.”

Considering the Cowboys don’t spend on outside free agents, there are no worries there.

But it might go toward Jones buying a big boat.

Good assessment. However, the Cowboys under Will McClay personnel leadership believes in young talent through the draft and add free agents to fill in a roster and not make a roster.

If I am not mistaken, I think Legends started with his visit and collaboration with George Steinbrenner? Its is about money and business and not a free agent strategy.

Yep, I am right: https://www.sportscasting.com/jerry...ore-than-100-million-apiece-in-pocket-change/
