**Brady to Dallas?! NFL Legend’s Cowboys Dream Crushed…Here’s Why!**

Tom Brady’s desire to join the Dallas Cowboys has been a long-standing rumor, but recent reports suggest the NFL legend has been rejected by the team for the past three years. Despite Brady’s seven Super Bowl rings and undeniable star power, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys have repeatedly passed on the opportunity.

While Brady officially retired, he has had a busy 2025. As a minority owner for the Las Vegas Raiders, Brady was involved in the team’s coaching search, helping them land Pete Carroll as their new head coach[3][7]. Despite having influence over the Raiders, his true desire is to play for the Dallas Cowboys[5].

Here’s why the Cowboys may be hesitant to bring Brady to Dallas:

* **Dak Prescott’s Presence:** The Cowboys have invested heavily in Dak Prescott, and while he’s shown flashes of brilliance, he hasn’t been able to lead the team to a Super Bowl victory[6]. Bringing in Brady would create a quarterback controversy and potentially stunt Prescott’s growth.
* **Brady’s Age and Cost:** Even though Brady has defied Father Time, he’s still in his late 40s[5]. Signing him would require a significant investment, and there’s no guarantee he could maintain his Hall of Fame level of play.
* **Jerry Jones’ Control:** Jerry Jones is known for wanting to be in control of his team[3][4]. Bringing in a strong personality like Brady could potentially challenge Jones’ authority.
* **Offensive Struggles** With the hiring of Brian Schottenheimer, can the team reach the promised land[3][4]?

Cowboys fans have had a rough go of it in 2025[4]. The team has been in disarray, and they haven’t made it past the divisional round in nearly 30 years[4]. Despite the disappointment, Jones is still expected to trust in Prescott.
