Just a fun post today for any Dallas Cowboy fans. Former Dallas quarterback Roger Staubach owns one of the biggest independant commercial real estate firms in the country. That is he did own one of the largest. Staubach just decided to sell his firm and made out real nice.

Reports state that the NFL Hall of Famer sold his brokerage to Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. for $613 million, plus $114 million in potential performance bonuses. That sounds like a pretty nice sum of money to me. The 66-year-old Staubach stepped down last year as CEO but remained chairman of the company he founded in 1977 as part of a larger management reorganization and recapitalization. He will join the Jones Lang board as executive chairman, Americas.
