BREAKING NEWS: Golden State Warriors HC Steve Kerr Stuns Football World, Rejects Jaw-Dropping $212.4 Million NIL Offer from Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints to Remain with Warriors: “I Have No Plans to Leave”
In a shocking turn of events that has sent ripples across both the NBA and NFL landscapes, Golden State Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr has reportedly rejected a massive $212.4 million NIL-style coaching offer from the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints, choosing instead to stay with the franchise he helped build into a dynasty.

Sources close to the negotiations say both NFL teams were eager to inject Kerr’s leadership and championship pedigree into their organizations—offering him dual executive-coaching power, full roster control, and even partial ownership stakes.
