For pro football enthusiasts, game-related memorabilia is a must. Moreover, if it has a connection with Tom Brady, it is like chocolate frosting on the cake. Last year, TB12’s 600th touchdown ball got a lot of market attention, and any football fan would love to have it. Count Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys owner, is on the list too.

In a game against the Chicago Bears, Brady completed his 600th career touchdown pass to wide receiver Mike Evans. After the TD, that ball became a significant part of the Buccaneers’ history. The ball he threw, however, had a minor mishap after reaching the breakthrough.

Is Dallas Cowboys’ Jerry Jones a keeper?

Mike Evans is famous among fans for tossing the ball into the crowd following a touchdown. It took place the same way as TB12’s milestone ball. He threw the ball to a spectator by the name of Byron Kennedy. The fan sat in the stands. However, a member of the Buccaneers‘ staff was able to get the legendary football back after some wheeling and dealing.

Nobody should be surprised if, during negotiations, Dallas Cowboys‘ Jerry Jones uses the ball to his advantage. The Cowboys’ President/GM revealed his plan of action if he were to receive Tom Brady‘s 600th TD ball, and it also involves some acting.

As per John Machota, Jerry Jones mentions, “I’d be hard to trade with. I’d explain to everybody that that’s like asking for my baby. Then I’d tear-up for him a little bit (thinking) about how I’m gonna have that when I’m 90. And then after all that, then I’d take offers.”

Did the fan receive anything for giving away memorabilia?

The moment Byron got his hands on the historic ball, he was the owner of a minimum of $500,000, as per Goldin Auctions’ Ken Goldin. Even though he did not get the amount, the Buccaneers made sure he did not go home empty-handed.

Byron Kennedy reportedly received two signed Tom Brady jerseys, a Brady helmet, a signed Mike Evans jersey, Evans’ cleats, and two bookings to every Bucs’ home game for the rest of the current season and the following year, according to Yahoo Sports. They also gave the fan a $1,000 gift card to the Buccaneers team shop. Brady also extended a bitcoin offer to the fan.
