NFL franchise Dallas Cowboys is widely considered the most valuable team in the world and presumably the biggest spenders as well. However, recent figures contradict the popular belief surrounding Cowboys GM Jerry Jones and his lavish expenditure. The struggling Detroit Lions franchise has assembled one of the most expensive offenses before the start of the 2022 season. According to ‘Over The Cap’ figures [https://overthecap.com/positional-spending], the Lions franchise holds the top spot ahead of the upcoming season. The Cowboys are holding the No.2 spot, followed by the Washington Commanders, the Tennessee Titans, the Arizona Cardinals, and the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite having one of the best offensive lines in the league, the Lions organization is reeling from the poor mistakes of their predecessors. While the promise of the offensive line has brought cheer to fans, the team remains far from its goal of competing. The work under general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell has not led to expected results. The franchise continues to rebuild [https://sidelionreport.com/2022/07/03/detroit-lions-find-trade-market-halapoulivaati-vaitai/] its trenches by keeping the core of its roster intact. They will be retaining $9.8 million in salary-cap space [https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/positions-lions-spending-money-salary-cap-2022] for future moves. ARE CHANGES WITHIN THE DALLAS COWBOYS ROSTER A GOOD SIGN FOR THEIR FUTURE? The Cowboys used to be a team possessing some of the most expensive players at every position. They have a history of shelling out big wages for their QBs, RBs and WRs to win the Super Bowl. However, the team has taken a different approach [https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2022/6/19/23173729/dallas-cowboys-no-longer-have-several-players-who-are-one-of-the-most-expensive-players-at-position] by undergoing roster modifications, eventually lowering their expenditures.

He was the 3rd highest-paid WR in the NFL last season. Despite losing one of their supposed starting wideouts, they have able replacements in Michael Gallup on lower wages. The rise of star WR CeeDee Lamb will be a welcome sign for the franchise looking for their next talisman. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Dallas-Cowboys-WR-CeeDee-Lamb-out-Thursday-after-concussion.jpg] With the financial situation of the Cowboys steadily improving, it would be their performances that would take center stage.

NFL franchises Dallas Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs find themselves below
this less than impressive franchise as the biggest spenders.

<h2>Dallas Cowboys: 2024 Roster, Players, Schedule, Super Bowl Wins and More</h2>
Founded by Clint Murchinson Jr, the Dallas Cowboys first saddled up in 1960 and soon became the Americaâ€™s Team. Well, thatâ€™s the name they are called by! The franchise is a professional American football team based in the Dallas â€“ Fort Worth metroplex. The Cowboys are the most expensive franchise in NFL history, and currently belong to the NFC East division.Â 

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2224233" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1035402245h.jpg" alt="" />

Having over 8.5 million fans online and a â€˜Lone Starâ€™ on their helmet, the team is one of the most popular franchises in the league. The Cowboys play currently at Arlington, Texas, and their practice facility is in Frisco, Texas. This Blue and White squad, which has won 5 Super Bowl Championships (1971, 1977, 1992, 1993, 1995), and 24 division championships, are known for a large, loyal fanbase and a rich history of success.
<h2>A look into the history of the Dallas Cowboys</h2>
The Dallas Cowboys' story began in 1960 with Clint Murchison Jr. founding the team. He brought professional football to Dallas after overcoming many hurdles, including a bitter rivalry with Washington Redskins owner, George Preston Marshall. This rivalry happened because when Murchison Jr. was determined to bring an NFL team to Dallas, he needed a unanimous vote from the leagueâ€™s owners. And Marshall, whom he had a falling out, was the one blocking him. Hence, in a clever move, Murchison paid just $2500 to get Marshallâ€™s support, and that vote secured Dallas its own NFL team. And then after difficult negotiations, Murchison finally brought the Cowboys to life, marking the start of the historic franchise.

However, in terms of performance, despite early struggles, they didn't find real success until 1966 when they began an incredible 20-season winning streak. This streak included 18 playoff appearances and five Super Bowl trips. During the 70s and 80s, they became â€œAmerica's Team,â€ with legends like Roger Staubach and Tony Dorsett leading the charge. Then by 1989, Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys, replacing long-time coach Tom Landry with Jimmy Johnson. Jones quickly rebuilt the team, leading them to multiple Super Bowl wins in the '90s, securing their reputation as a powerhouse. Today, the Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world, worth over $9 billion, selling out stadiums and continuously adding to their legacy. Their current home, AT&amp;T Stadium, has become an iconic venue for one of football's most storied franchises.
<h2>Notable milestones and achievements</h2>
The Dallas Cowboys have been to Super Bowls eight times and have won five (VI, XII, XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX). In addition to that, they also have won 8 NFC championships so far. However, the most notable seasons for the team were in the 1970s and 1990s. During the 1970s period, the Cowboys played in 6 NFC championships, and won 105 regular season games.Â

Besides it in the 1990s, quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith, and wide receiver Michael Irvin led the Cowboysâ€™ offense to a different level. This triplet helped the franchise to a 52-12 regular season record and 3 Super Bowl championships in 4 years, winning Super Bowls XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX.Â 
<h2>Major rivalries of the Dallas Cowboys</h2>
Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Commanders: Due to their founder Clint Murchison Jr.â€™s bad blood with Washingtonâ€™s then owner, George Preston Marshall, the rivalry has been established, and is continued till date. They have faced off each other 128 times, with the Dallas Cowboys winning 78 games and the Washington Commanders winning 48 games.

Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles: This is a 63 year-long intra-divisional rivalry with the two teams contained in the same division since 1961. They have met each other 130 times, in which the Eagles have won 56 games, while the Cowboys have 74 games in hand.

Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants: Perhaps their 31-31 tie in their first face off has led to this rivalry, besides the NFC East factor. They have played 124 times with each other. Cowboys have won 75 while Giants have won 47, with two ties till date.

Led by head coach Mike McCarthy, this year too, quarterback Dak Prescott is likely to be the starter of the team. He will be backed by Cooper Rush and Trey Lance. Supporting him in 2024 will be these starters, provided they remain injury-free.Â

Jones is known to be a big football fan himself, he played college football for the Arkansas Razorbacks, with whom he won the National Championship in 1964. As of 2022, Jerry Jones is the fourth richest NFL owner with the most valuable team in the world.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Jerry Jones Collegiate Career</h2>
Jerry Jones had a profound Collegiate career as a football player. He co-captained the National Championship-winning 1964 team of the Arkansas Razorbacks. He played as an offensive lineman under the College Football Hall of Fame coach Frank Broyles.
He was teammates with Jimmy Johnson, who later became the first head coach of the Cowboys under the ownership of Jerry Jones. Very few owners in NFL history are known to have a significantly successful football career and Jones is one of them.

However, Jones also played running back during his days at the North Little Rock High School. This simply proves that he always felt passionate about the sport since day one.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Jerry Jones Dallas Cowboys Owner</h2>
Jerry Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys from H.R. "Bum" Bright for $140 million in 1989. During his initial years as an owner, the franchise was losing several million a month and was proving to be a bad investment for the businessman.
As soon as he took ownership of the Cowboys, Jones fired the long-time coach Tom Landry, by that time the only coach the franchise has seen, and appointed his collegiate teammate Jimmy Johnson as the new HC. Johnson led the franchise to its first two Super Bowl victories (XXVII &amp; XXVIII).
