There is no second thought over the fact that the Dallas Cowboys are one of the richest and most successful NFL teams. To clone, one more franchise in the city is nearly impossible looking at the current scenario. Recently, the Dallas Mayor pitched an idea to welcome a new team besides the Cowboys. Interestingly, he suggested the Los Angeles Chargers should relocate and begin its operations from Dallas. Meanwhile, Jerry Jones took a shot at Mayor and shut the speculations even before it became a hot topic of discussion.
Even though the conversation didn’t mean a back-and-forth between Jerry Jones and Mayor Eric Johnson, it became a debatable topic for a few days now.

Johnson’s first attempt occurred when he invited the chargers to South Dallas and suggested ideal locations such as Cotton Bowl and Hensley Field for the team.
“Southern Dallas is the fresh start the Chargers need! Several sites, including cotton bowl stadium and Hensley Field, would be ideal locations for a state-of-the-art practice facility,” Johnson wrote on Twitter.

He doesn’t have the knowledge that others have regarding how unique Dallas is and how we enjoy the interest in the Cowboys. He wouldn’t want to water that down as it relates to Dallas if he knew as much, and has spent as much time in sports as I have.”
