Dallas cowboys’ owner Jerry jones does it different this time around after long awaits, shocks the whole NFL as he announced New GM  candidate today, just after hiring Brian schottenheimer…

In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the NFL, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has announced the hiring of Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman as the team’s new General Manager. The unexpected decision comes just after Jones hired former Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as the Cowboys’ head coach, with Schottenheimer set to be introduced to the media on January 27, 2025. Aikman, who has long been associated with the Cowboys, is slated to take over the GM role immediately following Schottenheimer’s press conference, marking a new era of leadership for the storied franchise.

The announcement was made public today, with Jones explaining his decision in a statement. “Troy has been an integral part of the Cowboys’ success over the years, and I believe he has the vision, knowledge, and experience to lead this team into the future,” said Jones. “This is a bold move, and I am confident Troy will bring the same level of excellence to the GM role as he did to the quarterback position.”

Aikman, 57, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006, has remained involved with the Cowboys as a broadcaster and advisor but has never held an executive role in the NFL. His selection as GM comes as a surprise to many, but insiders suggest that Aikman’s deep understanding of the game, combined with his leadership qualities, made him a natural choice to help guide the Cowboys back to Super Bowl contention.

The timing of the announcement also underscores Jones’ desire to retool the Cowboys’ roster quickly. Aikman’s first order of business will likely be working alongside Schottenheimer to reshape the team and address areas of need, particularly at the quarterback position, where Dallas has struggled for consistency in recent seasons.

With Aikman at the helm of the front office and Schottenheimer leading the coaching staff, the Cowboys are positioning themselves for a potential championship run in the 2025 season.
