Smith via USA TODAY Sports The other players to feature on the top 10 list included the likes of Joe Burrow (Bengals), CeeDee Lamb (Cowboys), Justin Fields (Bears), Ezekiel Elliott, (Cowboys), Trevor Lawrence (Jaguars), Rob Gronkowski (Buccaneers) and Josh Allen (Bills) in that order. Lawrence was the only rookie to feature in the top 10. But one big name missing from this list is that of Aaron Rodgers. The reason for his absence from this list can be pinpointed down to his ongoing struggles with the franchise’s front office which saw him nearly retiring. 

With the 2021 NFL season fast approaching, we take a look at the athletes who
sold the most retail wear over the course of the offseason.

<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.

Tom Brady

Who is Tom Brady? Tom Brady is regarded as one of the NFL&#8217;s greatest quarterbacks of all time. He has won the most Super Bowls in NFL history and is considered one of the biggest steals in NFL Draft history. The New England Patriots drafted the Michigan prospect at 199th overall in the 2000 NFL draft. He stayed with the New England Patriots for 20 seasons, winning several divisional titles, nine AFC Championships, and seven Super Bowls.

He retired after the 2021-2022 NFL campaign, following his Divisional Round loss against the Los Angeles Rams. However, he decided to return to the league after just 40 days. Alas, last year in 2023, Tom Brady said goodbye to his professional football career through a short but heart-warming clip. Now, he enjoys his time with his family and focuses on off-gridiron ventures. Tom Bradyâ€™s early life and family Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. was born in the state of California, in the city of San Mateo. He is the fourth child of Galynn Patricia and Thomas Brady Sr, before which they had three daughters. He was raised as a Catholic and belonged to a family of mixed ethnicities. While Brady is Irish from his father&#8217;s side, his mother belongs to a diverse ancestry of Sweden, Norway, Germany, and Poland. His father often jokingly calls himself the &#8216;Original Tom Brady&#8217;. Laying the foundation of an insurance company, the father of four transferred his work ethic and his zest to continue on the path of victory to his son. Brady Jr&#8217;s mother Galynn has always been known as the pillar of strength in his more than 2 decade-long career. She suffered through extremely tough times during her diagnosis of breast cancer but was quick to recover in 2017. His parents still live together in his childhood home back in California. As a child, Brady was raised in an extremely competitive environment with three sisters- Maureen, Julie, and Nancy. Maureen is the oldest of them all and remained inclined toward the sports world as well. She earned a name for herself by being the All-Star American softball pitcher at Fresno State. While she shifted her career path to nursing soon after, her sisters surely followed her into the game of softball. Nancy moved on from the sport to become a Public Health Technical Advisor. Julie, the sister who shares the closest bond with Tom Brady, married former Boston Red Sox player Kevin Youkilis. Currently, all three of them are busy raising their kids and living with their families, rarely gaining an opportunity to have a get-together.

He was known to be passionate about various sports from his school days, including Basketball, Baseball, and his future goal- Football. Tom Brady ended up securing 3702 yards and 31 touchdowns in his high school career. He went to the University of Michigan after completing his initial schooling, where he got a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies. There he gave up the opportunity to pursue professional baseball and focused on his football journey. Brady always credits Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers to be the massive reason behind his passion for the sport. That is what led him to continue with football despite not getting a chance to play in his University team for almost 2 years. Yet, after joining the side, the Quarterback secured 4773 passing yards and 30 TD passes in his college career. He led the Michigan Wolverines to become a strong side, remaining a squad member that grabbed the victory in the 1997 National Championship. While Brady was a known name in the college football world, he still entered the NFL only as the 199th pick of the draft. He was picked in the sixth round in 2000 by the New England Patriots. Astonishingly, he did not have a lot of hype surrounding him in his initial entry into the National Football League. Brady was the seventh QB to get selected that year. Yet, his long-time team Patriots recognized some passion and determination in him to make Brady a part of their squad despite hosting enough talent for the season. Tom Brady&#8217;s personal life Tom Brady&#8217;s dating life has been under the limelight since he rose to fame in the NFL arena.

These included the victory party after the New England Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII, the 2005 Vanity Fair Oscars party, and the 2006 Met Gala. Alas!

Their son, John &#8220;Jack&#8221; Edward Thomas Moynahan, was born on August 22, 2007. Since then, Brady and Moynahan have been co-parenting Jack.

She is a fan of many sports, prominently, tennis and horse riding. Despite the love and support they showcased each other, the couple separated ways in October 2022.
