Jerry Jones: Wouldn't sell Cowboys for less than $10 billion

The last NFL franchise to sell set a record, with the Panthers fetching around $2.3 billion. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones thinks his team is worth more than four times that amount.

“If I had to sell the team tomorrow I wouldn’t accept anything less than $10 billion,” Jones said. “But, I don’t want to imply that I would take $10 billion for them. The Cowboys are just not for sale. They’re a long-term asset and my immediate family — which has been a part of making them what they are today — they’ll own the Cowboys long after I’m gone. . . .

“I don’t say $10 billion just to say a ridiculous number. I just think you really have to go on what people would pay. I don’t want to say at least $10 billion but I certainly think you can justify a $10 billion value, but economically I’d rather have the Cowboys than the $10 billion.”

Jerry has completely over estimated the value of his franchise much like he has his offense looking like the Rams. Lol

The only way we're going to change things is … quick one of you hunky men here propose to Jerry's daughter.

How much money would every member of cowboyzone need to pitch in? I'm guessing a few grand. 5 figures?

Now that I think about, probably 50k.

There is an alternative universe somewhere that has another SlammedZero writing the $10 billion dollar check right this second. If he is anything like me I promise he is firing the coaching staff right away.

You know what's funny? He could give up the GM position and he'd still be the Final Decision Maker.
He is, after all, the Owner.


Sigh... I said funny. I could have used different words...

If Jerry sold the Cowboys he would never be in front of the camera again, so he's not selling the Cowboys

Owning a sports franchise is the way rich people become famous and Jerry loves being famous more than being rich.

30 years
No dividends included in the return calculation
Initial cost $180,000,000
Current value before taxes on sell $5,000,000,000
ROI? 11.72 percent, doesn't include 30 years of distribution

There are zoners who do this for a living, how good of an investment has this been?

Have often thought the family sells the team after Jerry passes. Football, is only going downhill from here. They would be right to sell it for as much as they can get while it's still viable. Jerry saying this publicly just makes me think they are thinking it too and trying and set the price early.
