Jerry Jones Makes Headlines With Outlandish Promise Involving DeMarcus Lawrence and Lunar Art
The Moon Meets the Gridiron
In one of the most bizarre yet entertaining turns of NFL offseason drama, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has once again captured the public’s imagination. According to multiple sources close to the team, Jones recently joked—though some say not entirely—that he would enshrine DeMarcus Lawrence in the Cowboys’ prestigious Ring of Honor if he could successfully acquire an abstract Picasso painting rumored to be auctioned… on the moon.
Yes, you read that correctly.
A Cosmic Auction Like No Other
While it sounds like science fiction, the story stems from a satirical art-tech initiative known as the “Lunar Vault Project,” which claims to send a select number of ultra-rare digital and physical artworks—including pieces inspired by Pablo Picasso—to an orbital exhibition module on the moon.
Sources suggest Jones took notice of the event during a private billionaire summit earlier this year. When the Cowboys media team asked for his thoughts, Jones reportedly grinned and said:
“If I land that Picasso, Tank gets the Ring. The moon deserves a Cowboy story.”
Why DeMarcus Lawrence Deserves the Spotlight
DeMarcus “Tank” Lawrence has been a cornerstone of the Cowboys defense for years. A two-time Pro Bowler and emotional leader on the field, Lawrence has never quite gotten the national recognition he deserves—until now.
The mention of his name in connection with the Ring of Honor has sent Cowboys Nation into a frenzy of speculation. Fans have flooded social media with messages of support, urging Jones to follow through with the honor regardless of lunar art acquisitions.
Social Media Reacts With Memes and Support
The internet had a field day with the lunar remark. Popular memes now show DeMarcus Lawrence in a space suit, planting a Cowboys flag next to a Picasso portrait. One fan wrote:
“Only Jerry Jones would link the greatest pass rusher of this era with outer space and fine art.”
Another quipped:
“This is the most Jerry Jones thing since hiring a hologram to scout quarterbacks.”
Is There Any Truth to the Art Deal?
Surprisingly, yes—sort of. Art collectors and space technology entrepreneurs have been toying with the idea of lunar exhibitions and off-Earth storage for high-value assets. However, there’s no evidence that a real Picasso piece is involved, nor any confirmation that Jerry Jones has formally placed a bid.
Still, when contacted, a representative from the Lunar Vault Project said:
“We welcome Mr. Jones’ interest. Cowboys on the moon? We say why not.”
A Strategic Move or Just Eccentric Flair?
Some NFL insiders believe this spectacle, whether sincere or not, is typical Jerry Jones flair—combining showmanship, loyalty, and marketing genius in one eccentric statement. It keeps the Cowboys relevant in headlines and subtly praises DeMarcus Lawrence in a way only Jerry can.
“There’s always a little truth behind the humor with Jerry,” said one longtime Cowboys insider. “He doesn’t say these things for nothing.”
Final Word From Tank Himself
When asked about the lunar Picasso-Ring of Honor connection, Lawrence laughed and simply responded:
“If it takes buying art on the moon to get me up there, I’ll send Jerry my wishlist.”
Whether the Picasso ever reaches Jerry’s hands—or the moon—remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Jerry Jones has once again given NFL fans something utterly unique to talk about.
