“Jerry Jones Sit Down and Shut Up”: NFL Twitter Reacts on Billionaire Dallas Cowboys Owner as a Richer Player Enters the Market; Gets Outweighed by Broncos’ New Owner

The billionaire owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, has been at the top of his game for years. He has worked relentlessly to make the Cowboys one of the top teams in the league. They are the most valuable team currently in the NFL.

In the process, Jones has also notched up his net worth, making him the wealthiest franchise owner in the NFL. However, things often get shaken up quickly and unexpectedly, as with all things.

Jones has been the most affluent owner of an NFL franchise for years. However, given the past few days’ events, Jones’ hold over his coveted title of the richest owner in the NFL has slipped away.

Who toppled Jerry Jones from his perch as the richest owner in the NFL?

With the arrival of a new wealthy owner in the NFL franchise, Jones no longer remains the richest owner of a team. That honor now goes to the new owner of the Denver Broncos- Rob Walton.

Walton reportedly purchased the Broncos from the previous owner Pat Bowlen at $4.65 billion, and Bowlen had bought the franchise at $78 million. On the other hand, Jerry Jones had purchased the Cowboys for about $140 million in the 1980s. It was a heavy investment at that time.

The Cowboys still are the most valuable team in the world at $6.5 billion. While the Broncos’ value is slightly lower than the Cowboys, Walton’s personal wealth is more than Jones’. It is because Walton is the heir to the Walmart chain. They estimate his personal wealth to be around $59 billion.

Jones is one of the most familiar faces on the NFL circuit as the owner frequently appears on shows and interviews to represent the Cowboys. He also reportedly takes a very close interest in the functioning of his team. It is understandable, with so much of his personal fortune invested in the Cowboys. Their performance has a significant impact on his net worth.

How is Twitter reacting to Dallas Cowboys owner Jones?

Twitter has been ablaze with tweets and memes since the news came out. NFL fans have reacted quickly about Jerry Jones and what he would do now after losing the title of the richest man in the NFL by tweeting comments and memes.

All these tweets show that the NFL world has taken Jerry Jones’ fall out from his perch, as the richest owner, in its stride. Many are even open to taking a cheeky dig at the former richest franchise owner in the league.
