The foundation is for the National Medal of Honor Museum, which will be in Arlington. According to a source, Jerry Jones contributed $20 million. The museum had racked up more than $70 million at that given date.

Talking about donating the amount to the museum foundation, Jones said, “Anyone who is successful in business has at times stood on the shoulders of others Never in my life have I had the opportunity to stand beside those who have given so much for the defense of freedom and our way of life. Medal of Honor recipients represent the very best of America and the values to which all heroes aspire.”

This upcoming season will be a very huge one in terms of the franchise’s future. Many major decisions can be taken by the owner himself if the season ends in failure. If the shocking exit in last year’s playoffs was not enough, this year would certainly lead to the removal of multiple people.

The main spotlight, however, will be on head coach Mike McCarthy. With Sean Payton likely to be available next season, McCarthy needs to find a way to get this team going. Jerry Jones has shown a lot of trust in the current crop of people around the team, but he would also like to see his team making progress.
