Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones revealed some personal medical information this week.
In an interview with the Dallas Morning News, Jones said he was diagnosed with Stage 4 melanoma and went through multiple surgeries and treatment methods over the course of a decade. He said those efforts were successful and he no longer has tumors.
“I was saved by a fabulous treatment and great doctors and a real miracle [drug] called PD-1 [therapy],” Jones told The Dallas Morning News. “I went into trials for that PD-1 and it has been one of the great medicines.
“I now have no tumors.”
Jones said he was initially diagnosed back in June of 2010 and began treatment soon after.
Jones has been the owner of the Dallas Cowboys since 1989. According to new analysis from Sportico, the Cowboys lead the NFL with a franchise valuation of approximately $12.8 billion.
An Arkansas alum, Jones is set to turn 83 years old this October. He’s remained active in the Cowboys’ front office throughout his ownership tenure, even commenting on the ongoing Micah Parsons contract dispute in recent weeks.
Jones’ Cowboys will play their first regular season of the 2025 season on Sept. 4 against the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.
