DeMarcus WareAlready a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023, he is receiving the highest praise from the Dallas Cowboys in the same calendar year.
The owner of the Cowboys, Jerry Jones, made the announcement Wednesday without confirming when the consecration would take place.
DeMarcus Ware, a career defined by excellence
Ware had an outstanding career in NFL throughout 12 seasons between 2005 and 2016.
In all, he earned nine selections at Pro Bowlfour prizes All-Prowas a member of Hall of Fame All-2000 Team and had 138.8 sacks, 657 tackles, and 35 forced fumbles.
Nine of those seasons were spent in Dallaswhere he has a team-high 117 sacks and has produced double-digit sacks seven times in a season, including twice leading the league.
The linebacker became a free agent in 2014 and landed with the Denver Broncoswhere he spent two seasons before announcing his retirement in March 2017.
Jones inducted Ware into the NFL Hall of Fame at the beginning of the month, so it seemed logical that he would give Ware his last honor on Wednesday.
An exclusive fraternity
Jones made the announcement in front of a crowd at Ford Center during a season-opening show for fans who Ware he was actually presenting.
“This is the second time he’s surprised me,” Ware said. “The first time, when you told me I was going to get into the (professional football) Hall of Fame. And secondly, when I got into your Hall of Fame. That means a lot to me. Yeah, Canton was great, but this is my house and my dad (Jones) who I played for. I did enough.”
Los Cowboys They have not announced an official date for their performance at the halftime ceremony. It is expected to be before the game on November 30 against Seattle. It will be then when Ware y Chuck Howley they will receive their Hall of Fame rings at halftime.
At the moment, Ring of Honor it has 22 members, including 19 former players.
Ware will become the 20th player to be included, but only the sixth player selected by Joneswho bought the Cowboys in 1989.
Ware will become the first player to be included in ROH since 2015, when the Cowboys they honored Darren Woodson.
“You understand how seriously I take this Ring of Honor,” Jones said. “It’s not arrogant to me, not at all. I recognize the fact that it’s a committee that makes this happen. As a player, for him to have distinguished himself, I’d like to think that when you enter the Ring of Honor, that’s not where it’s where the organization of the Dallas Cowboys. Continue from there. He is absolutely what he had in mind when he spoke of the Ring of Honor.”
