Former Broncos OLB 9x Pro Bowl, with 138.5 career sacks, expresses his desire to wear the Cowboys jersey one last time before the end of his career
A former 9-time Pro Bowl legend, who is considered one of the greatest defensive stars in the history of the Dallas Cowboys, has unexpectedly expressed his desire to return to his old team before the end of his career. Ware’s statement, the player who won a Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos in 2016, has shocked not only Cowboys Nation but also the entire NFL, as he expressed his deep desire to return to the team that elevated him to the peak of his career.
In a recent interview, Ware shared, “If given the opportunity, I would love to come back and finish my career where it all started. I’ve always had love for Dallas, and I’ll never give up on the dream of putting on a Cowboys jersey again.” These words from Ware left Cowboys fans deeply moved, especially as they reflect on the years when Ware brought unparalleled performances to the team.
As one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history, Ware played 9 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys from 2005 to 2013, recording 117.5 sacks and becoming a model of hard work and dedication. After leaving the Cowboys and joining the Broncos in 2014, Ware helped the team win Super Bowl 50 before retiring after the 2016 season.
Although he has been away from the field for many years, Ware remains a symbol in the hearts of Cowboys fans. Many fans hope that Ware’s dream will come true, although realistically, the chance for him to return to Dallas late in his career seems unlikely. Nonetheless, Ware’s proposal has sparked an emotional wave in the Cowboys Nation, with many feeling that his return could provide a strong boost of morale for the team.
In the midst of struggles on the Cowboys' defense, Ware’s return could help not only in terms of experience but also in terms of leadership. “DeMarcus Ware is a leader, a symbol. His return would bring tremendous inspiration to the team,” a former Cowboys player said.
Though the opportunity for Ware to return to Dallas may be slim, his story of dedication and love for the team will undoubtedly remain an integral part of the Cowboys' legacy.
Eagles Owner Makes Surprise Decision in A.J. Brown Dispute

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and Dom "Big Dom" DiSandro.
While the Philadelphia Eagles are by far the most recognizable part of his business portfolio, it’s not the only thing Jeffrey Lurie has to do.
He’s also an Academy Award winning film producer with the type of business acumen you can’t get from a Harvard MBA — he borrowed $185 million to buy the Eagles in 1994 and the team is now valued at approximately $8 billion.
So, with a net worth of $7.6 billion, when Lurie shows up at practice on a random Thursday in November, it’s worth remembering how valuable his time is. He wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t important.
In this case, the important thing was putting out fires in the locker room of the defending Super Bowl champions at the behest of famed Eagles head of security Dom “Big Dom” DiSandro.
This particular fire was caused by star wide receiver A.J. Brown, who went on social media (again) to vent his frustrations with the Eagles offense, this time describing the season as a “(expletive) show” during a Twitch livestream.
The Eagles are 7-2, winners of 3 consecutive games and have a 3-game lead in the NFC East Division.
“Today at Eagles practice Big Dom got Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and AJ Brown together and it looked like they had a very good conversation about AJ‘s frustration and they all want the offense to be better,” NBC Sports Philadelphia’s John Clark wrote on his official X account on November 13.
Ask yourself — what would you do if someone you were paying $32 million per year constantly complained about their job?
You might want to go have a talk with them.
Lurie’s Family Money Came From Hollywood
Lurie is the heir to a family fortune that began when his grandfather, Philip Smith, founded the General Cinema movie theater chain in 1935, which became one of the largest drive-in movie theater and movie theater chains in the country, and at one point operated over 1,500 screens across the U.S.
Lurie actually failed in two previous attempts to buy NFL franchises when Robert Kraft beat him to buy the New England Patriots, and Stan Kroenke beat him out to buy Los Angeles Rams before finally spending $185 million to buy the Eagles in 1994.
He’s also won 3 Academy Awards for documentaries, including “Inside Job” for Best Documentary Film in 2011 and “Summer of Soul” for Best Documentary Film in 2022.
Eagles Owner No Stranger to Controversy
While common sense tells us Lurie was probably at practice to have a “Come to Jesus” moment with Brown, a 3-time NFL All-Pro, he may have just been there to commiserate on how to make it through various media landmines of your own creation.
As Lurie passionately campaigned to keep the Eagles’ signature Tush Push play legal this summer, he ended up in his own maelstrom due to his comments doing so.
“Lurie (said) regardless of whether the play was banned, it was a ‘win-win’ for the Eagles, adding that it was like a wet dream for a teenage boy’ to create a play that was so successful that the only way for it to be stopped was for it to be banned,” ESPN’s Seth Wickersham wrote on May 21. “ … executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent chastised the Eagles owner for the ‘wet dream’ comment, specifically for saying it in front of women in the meeting.”
