According to a report from Adam Schefter, Trevon Diggs and Stefon Diggs are set to reunite in Dallas Cowboys uniforms after the team cleared a large amount of salary cap space

Dallas, Texas – Just 12 hours after pushing half of the Dallas Cowboys stakeholders to reverse their stance and demand the team stay, Governor Greg Abbott escalated the situation even further. Earlier, owner Jerry Jones had secured approval from 25 of 32 NFL teams to relocate the franchise to Oklahoma — a move that seemed nearly irreversible. But in just 12 hours, everything changed. Abbott called an emergency “roundtable” meeting with Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt and Jerry Jones to address the escalating crisis. According to sources, this was not a routine discussion, but a decisive negotiation to prevent the loss of the franchise. After hours of intense talks, a new “power-balancing” agreement was announced. Under the deal, the Cowboys will remain in Dallas for at least 10 years, but under a set of unprecedented conditions. The state of Texas is committing major investment into sports infrastructure while also creating a “priority lane” for the Cowboys in all development plans. That means team-related projects will be fast-tracked, gain easier access to resources, and face minimal bureaucratic resistance — a rare privilege in professional sports. However, the Cowboys will still be subject to the state’s millionaire tax, which was one of the key reasons the relocation discussions began in the first place. This creates a controversial contradiction: the team is being given a clear path to grow, while still carrying significant financial pressure. Abbott’s remarks only intensified the tension. “The Cowboys are not just a football team they are a strategic asset of this state and we will not allow them to leave under any circumstances What is being built here is not just a deal but a commitment to control the future of this franchise in the best interest of Texas” Jerry Jones responded shortly after, and his words only deepened the controversy. “We were standing at the edge of leaving, not because we wanted to but because we had to think about the long-term future of this team This was never an easy decision because Dallas is not just a city it is part of the Cowboys identity But if the commitments made today are not honored we will have no choice but to protect our future at all costs” Meanwhile, Oklahoma made its position clear. “If Dallas fails to deliver on its promises Oklahoma is ready to open the door immediately and we will not miss this opportunity” The most critical element lies in the contingency clause. Oklahoma is now officially the strategic Plan B. If any commitments from Abbott’s side are broken, the Cowboys will have the right to relocate to Oklahoma immediately, without requiring another NFL vote. Oklahoma is also authorized to prepare infrastructure, including training facilities and a full sports complex, ready to receive the team at any moment. The agreement has instantly divided the Cowboys community. One side sees it as a dual-layer victory — keeping the team while securing long-term flexibility. The other fears it places the franchise in a constant state of instability. Across the NFL, analysts are already calling this a dangerous precedent, with politics and economics deeply embedded into team operations. For Jerry Jones, it is a strategic move that preserves both options. But for fans, the central question remains. Are the Cowboys truly protected… or simply entering a much larger power game? One thing is certain — the controversy is far from over.
