The Dallas Cowboys have history with quite a few franchises around the NFL. Of course there is the long history with their NFC East brethren. You can also count their historic battles with the San Francisco 49ers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. But the Cowboys also have an odd little history with the Minnesota Vikings, some of it is on the field, but some of it is from off-the-field transactions, or non-transactions.
Whether it’s the euphoria of the Herschel Walker trade in 1989, regrets about not drafting Randy Moss in 1998 or getting slapped with a six-figure fine for prodding along Minnesota’s stadium situation in 2009, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has had a passionate, career-long connection to the Vikings.
