Michael Irvin Admits to Loving Cowboys’ Enemy Franchise During Tensions With Jerry Jones Michael Irvin might not have been a Cowboys legend in their ring of honor if it wasn't for one of Dallas' oldes

The legacy of Number 88 almost had a different ending in Dallas. Michael Irvin , the Cowboys legend and one of the pivotal players who shaped Dallas’ 90s dynasty, almost went to another team. As Irvin recently revealed on the Club Shay Shay podcast, there was a time when Jerry Jones was considering trading Irvin to another franchise. During that time, Irvin had seriously considered joining the Raiders . What makes it even more striking? Irvin’s deep admiration for the late Raiders owner Al Davis , a figure both revered and feared across the league.

On the podcast, Shannon Sharpe made the statement : “Mike, you almost got traded to the Raiders.” As Irvin candidly replied, “I would have loved to go to the Raiders if I was going to get traded.”
