It was only a matter of time until an NFL spinoff of "The Last Dance" emerged.
On Monday, Netflix secured the rights to a 10-episode docuseries on Dallas Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones and his 1990s Cowboys teams, according to Puck News. While the deal has yet to be finalized, Netflix's reported bid of nearly $50 million bid appears to be the leader in the clubhouse, exceeding that of ESPN and others.
Since purchasing the Cowboys in 1989, Jones has served as the owner, president and general manager, leading the team to Super Bowl victories in the 1992, 1993 and 1995 seasons. In doing so, he has also become a pop culture figure of sorts, appearing in several TV episodes and commercials through the years.
The coming docuseries has garnered comparisons to the ESPN/Netflix series "The Last Dance" — which followed Michael Jordan's glory days with the Chicago Bulls — thanks to its 1990s focus, big personalities and rare footage. This series will specifically look at how the Cowboys have risen to truly embody their "America's Team" moniker, and it will feature unseen interviews with Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin.
Although Dallas has had little playoff success in recent years, they were listed as the most valuable sports franchise in the world in 2022, according to Forbes, thus there should be plenty of interest in this inside look at their dynasty.
As of now, a timeline regarding the production and release of the project has not been announced.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
