Jeff Bezos didn\u2019t walk into that meeting as a guest. The moment he stood up and started speaking, the entire room went completely silent for nearly 30 minutes, and by the time the meeting ended, everyone understood the future of the Cowboys might never look the same again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Despite the growing speculation, the Cowboys organization continues denying that any official agreement has been finalized to sell the franchise to any individual or corporation at this time.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Bezos has also not made any public comments regarding the controversial closed-door meeting that reportedly took place in Arlington late Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p>However, after everything that allegedly unfolded behind those closed doors, many across Dallas now believe the biggest transformation in franchise history may have already begun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arlington, TX &#8211; Just hours after the Dallas Cowboys held a sudden internal emergency meeting late Tuesday night, the entire NFL world began speculating about the franchise\u2019s&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1013,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
