Despite Jerry Jones’ $1 Billion Bonanza, Embarrassed Cowboys WR Set to Lose Minimum $250 and Reputation

Published 06/04/2023, 6:42 AM EDT

Jerry Jones is like the messiah for the Dallas Cowboys. When he brought the ‘America’s team’ in 1989 for $140 million, no other team in the NFL back then sold for a whopping nine-figure deal. And ever since, Jones has gone on to create a fortune for the Cowboy. Today the Dallas Cowboys stand at the top of the pinnacle as the world’s richest sporting franchise with a net worth of around $7 billion. From moving away from the revenue-sharing agreement of the league to striking his own lucrative sponsorships, Jones left no stone unturned in order to branch out the team’s revenue-generating opportunities. He even figured out a way to establish revenue streams for the team as a brand as well through merchandising.

And even today, Jerry Jones continues to build on the fortunes of the Cowboys as a team in the NFL. But despite the financial success, the Cowboys were recently struck with a crisis. A crisis that includes the involvement of one player from their roster.

The reason Antonio Callaway was arrested is that he had a warrant against his name for allegedly driving with a suspended license and failing to make the payments needed for the same. And now, the WR is going to stack up a $250 fine for the misdemeanor. This is not the first time Callaway has had troubles with law enforcement. Back in Ohio in 2018, he was issued a citation for possessing marijuana and also driving with a suspended license. He hasn’t played a regular season game in the NFL since his brief five-game stint with the Miami Dolphins in 2020 after a long suspension.

According to an article by Marca, the Cowboys have been the most profitable sports team in the world over the past three years, amassing nearly around $1.2 billion in this time frame.
