Sometimes, it’s incredible to realize what social media can do and how it impacts everyday life. Such was the case yesterday, when Lamar Jackson and streamer Moneybag shared Instagram stories joking about the Cowboys potentially trading the Ravens quarterback.
The Baltimore quarterback, who was MVP in 2019 and 2023, became the first player in NFL history to throw more than 40 touchdowns in a season (2024), with a total of 41 and only four interceptions. He also finished the season with more than 40 touchdown passes and more than 600 yards rushing.
This is how the joke between Lamar Jackson and Moneybag went
Some fans might see streamer Moneybag’s “joke” as a nod to Dallas, because, as Micah Parsons said, Jackson represents a dual threat, both in the air and on the ground. Furthermore, his calmness and connection to his family fit with the Cowboys’ craving for humility.
Lamar’s Instagram story brimmed with playful frustration: “_@moneybag.mafia I missed the comedy show.” His response wasn’t just a comeback, but a Rorschach test for Cowboys fans: “All good, guys, tell those people to trade you to the Dallas Cowboys.”
Is it possible for Lamar Jackson to join the Cowboys?
It’s funny how a comedian’s punchline can seem like a premonition, and it might just remain that way, since cap space is the dragon guarding this fantasy. Jackson’s contract: $260 million for five years. Dak Prescott’s cap hit in 2025: $60 million. And the Cowboys’ cap space: $32 million.
Still… Jerry Jones built a cathedral for spectacle. Imagine Jackson under the lights of primetime. No one before him had combined for more than 4,000 passing yards (4,172) and more than 800 rushing yards (915) in a single season. He’s also the first in history to average 8.5 yards per pass.
