Jerry Jones is worried about his football team right now, as the Dallas Cowboys are 3-4 on the season heading into Week 8, but he’s made time to make some political donations, as well.
Front Office Sports reported on Wednesday that the NFL owner made $1.56 million in donations to President Trump and other Republican campaigns.
“Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, a longtime Republican donor, gave $1 million to Trump’s MAGA Inc., and another half million in Texas races, including $250,000 to a PAC supporting Paxton in a tight Senate race against Democrat James Talarico,” they reported.
Jerry’s son, Stephen, also made some donations.
“Jones’s son Jerry Jones Jr. gave $50,000 to Paxton’s primary opponent, Cornyn, and $100,000 to Sen. Ten Cruz’s political action committee. The younger Jones gave more than $300,000 in total to Republicans, both in Texas and nationally,” they reported.

Jones has made serious donations in the past, too.
Earlier this month, the three-time Super Bowl-winning owner made a $10 million donation to the Clinton Foundation.
“Jones announced the donation during an appearance with Clinton at the Little Rock Touchdown Club, a football club in their home state of Arkansas that meets weekly,” Forbes reported.
“The donation will be put toward modernization efforts at the Clinton Presidential Center and benefit the Clinton School of Public Service, both of which are in Little Rock, Arkansas, according to a statement from the Clinton Foundation.”
Jones is still optimistic about the Cowboys this season, too
Jones said on 103.5 The Fan this week that he would love to make another deal, after trading for Steelers star Joey Porter Jr.
However, while Jones is all-in, he feels a trade is unlikely.
“If we could do it where we sit right now, I would add to it,” Jones said, per DallasCowboys.com. “But the adding to it is a big statement. It’s unlikely we’ll get the opportunity from outside coming in. But if it’s there, I’ll do it.”
The Cowboys will take on the Cardinals at 1 p.m. E.T. on Sunday.
