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.”

Bull nuggets.
If you had the money would you send your child to the best school possible? Of course you would.
Would you hire the best instructor possible if your child showed promise in tennis? Mathematics? Yes, you would.
Provided money wasn't an issue, what would you not do for your family? I imagine that list would be short.
So then, why does Jerry insult his family buy retaining the worst GM in the league?
Because of the nest comment in this article.

Marry those two statements together and what he is saying is the success of this team is due to Jerry and his family.
That success is financial, not success on the field.
It's like the Cowboys are RC Cola. Jerry is satisfied sharing the marketplace with Coke and Pepsi. But not enough to hire a GM that will make them competitive with the two giants.
It would take an investment group instead of one owner....and a pretty large group even at that.Jerry Jones: Wouldn't sell Cowboys for less than $10 billion

Crap

So here's a question:
If you were given ownership of the Dallas Cowboys, would you sell the team for 10 billion dollars?
No. Why would I? Owning the Cowboys would afford me any type of lifestyle that I choose, anyway.So here's a question:
