Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones may have had a hand in luring soon-to-be-announced Arkansas Razorbacks head basketball coach John Calipari to his new job, multiple reports suggest.

Jones, who attended and played football at the University of Arkansas, graduating in 1965, was credited by multiple outlets as being a major factor in Calipari’s decision to leave Kentucky for Fayetteville.

Alongside Jones, Walmart’s owners the Waltons and Tyson Foods’ chicken magnate John Tyson were also listed as major wealthy Arkansas donors that may have helped entice Cal to jump ship, according to ESPN.

So Jones, the 11th richest owner in sports, according to Forbes, has money to sweeten the pot for Calipari and his NIL pool but not to bolster his Cowboys roster. (RELATED: Story About NFL Draft Day Shows Jerry Jones’ Nepotism Is Out Of Control)


The ‘Boys have made by far the smallest free agency splash in the NFL. While the Philadelphia Eagles seemed to win the offseason by stealing Saquon Barkley away from the New York Giants, the G-Men rebounded from their loss by trading for, and subsequently extending, monster defensive end Brian Burns. Even the Washington Commanders made some nice moves grabbing impact players like Bobby Wagner and Austin Ekeler.

The Cowboys. however, have lost a lot more than they’ve gained. After losing starting running back Tony Pollard to the Tennessee Titans and star linebacker Leighton Vander Esch to retirement, the Cowboys have made few moves to replenish their roster. They’ve spent little more than $11 million on free agents this season, by far the lowest expenditure of any team. The next cheapest club, the Los Angeles Chargers, has still spent almost four times more than the Cowboys. The league’s highest-spending team, the Atlanta Falcons, has spent almost a quarter of a billion dollars this offseason, according to Over The Cap.

Oh, how it must suck to be a Cowboys fan. Your owner cares more about kicking it with the Razorback boys at a basketball game over a glass of Johnny Blue than he does about putting out a winning product for his billion-dollar franchise. With rumors now swirling that star defender Micah Parsons is on the outs, and looming extensions for QB Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb on the horizon, Jerry World is in absolute disarray and I love every second of it.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
