Jones has owned the Cowboys since 1989 and has been the general manager and team president as well. We all know about the three super bowls, but Jerry has been instrumental in taking the NFL into the next level of marketing, sponsorship, television, etc…in short, he has made the NFL a ton more profitable since coming into the league.
Football immortality. Congratulations, Jerry Jones!#PFHOF17 pic.twitter.com/zknDyY5enG
