Dallas, TX – October 5, 2025
The Dallas Cowboys have become the first NFL franchise to unveil a three-year life transition program designed to support players as they move beyond football — whether through release, retirement, or injury. The initiative represents a major step forward in the Cowboys’ long-standing commitment to player welfare and family values.
The program provides career mentorship, education funding, monthly income stipends, and comprehensive wellness services, ensuring former Cowboys have the tools to succeed after leaving the game. It also includes mental health counseling, job placement partnerships, and family financial guidance, offering a full-circle approach to post-football life.
Cowboys owner, president, and general manager Jerry Jones emphasized the heart behind the move:
“Once a Cowboy, always a Cowboy. Our players give everything to this organization, and we owe it to them to make sure they’re supported for life — not just during their playing years.”
League analysts and the NFL Players Association have praised the initiative as “a model for modern sports leadership,” noting that it continues the Cowboys’ tradition of innovation both on and off the field.
Fans in Texas celebrated the announcement, calling it “pure class” and “the Cowboy way.” Social media buzzed with messages like: “This is what family means — Jerry Jones taking care of his players even after the pads come off.”
For the Cowboys, this isn’t about publicity — it’s about legacy.
From AT&T Stadium to every corner of Cowboys Nation, the message is clear: the star on the helmet stands for loyalty, leadership, and lifelong family. ⭐
