The Dallas Cowboys haven't been shy when it comes to opening up the checkbook, at least when it comes to the roster. Prior to the 2024 regular season, the team extended Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb.
This year, it's the world-famous Cowboys cheerleaders that are seeing some additional pay coming their way – to the tune of a 400% raise.
It was revealed on the Netflix series "America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders" when member Megan McElaney, a four-year veteran from Oceanside, California, mentioned the increase.
"Our efforts were heard and they wanted to give us a raise," McElaney said, via the Associated Press. "And we ended up getting a 400% increase, which is like, life-changing."
In 2019, the group fought for a raise in game rates, which doubled from $200 to $400 at the time. Former member Kristin Westbrook took to Instagram, where she revealed some of the pay structure.
