The Dallas Cowboys are the most profitable sports franchise in the world. As a result, they've always been a prominent feature in the NFL news cycle. Monday was an eventful day for the city of Dallas and its football fans.
The city made headlines after comments made by its mayor regarding an expansion franchise. New developments emerged from Jerry Jones' car crash last Wednesday. Lastly, a franchise legend made a prominent announcement that impacts the NFL.
These are the most significant events that occurred concerning the Cowboys on Monday.
Dallas Mayor suggests expansion franchise

Johnson cited the city's population growth as a basis for his argument. He also proclaimed Dallas' love of football would be able to handle the market saturation of having two teams.
Johnson believes Jones would profit if Dallas had a second franchise. He also believes Jones' franchise will be a more powerful brand due to more recognition being placed on the city. Johnson tweeted:
“Jerry Jones owns the crown jewel of the NFL. I don’t think the Lakers or Yankees are bothered one bit by the existence of the Clippers or Mets. Cowboys are a stronger brand with a more global fan base than either of these two. You’re underestimating Jerry Jones AND DALLAS!”
It's still unknown how Jones feels about this. But it's certainly a fascinating possibility.
Police report Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was driving car at the time of the accident
Jones was involved in a car accident last Wednesday. No injuries were reported at the scene. However, few details have emerged regarding the incident, which was caught on camera by TMZ Sports.
That changed on Monday, as police revealed details of the incident. According to police, Jones was the individual driving his car when the incident took place. The driver Jones collided with was completing a food delivery.
We at Sportskeeda are relieved Jones escaped without any injuries.
