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

[nobody]

So here's a question:

If you were given ownership of the Dallas Cowboys, would you sell the team for 10 billion dollars?

Wouldn't even have to think about it. SOLD.

I'd sell the Cowboys and buy another team, then be the only owner in the league to own one team and root for another.

What would his clan do without playing football Gods? Zero chance he sells.

 

[SoupcanSam]

$10 billion, but he says he would never sell the team.

When you give out a number selling down the road is somewhere in the back of your mind. If it was me I would have just said the team isnt for sale!

 

[Nova]

Alright guys, let’s start the money pool.

I’ve made my contribution.

Who’s got the other $9,999,999,994

Hopefully Jeff Bezos will make Jerry an offer.

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

What if Jones great grandson takes over the team and insists on playing QB and be the head coach?

 

[camelboy]

LOL... I like the line that says

".... which has been a part of making them what they are today...."

today? you mean the mediocre laughing stock America's joke? All of you are doing excellent job

 

[stargazer]

Is there a layaway plan?

 

[Staubacher]

That was a lot of words just to say "I'm not selling, ever."

Jerrah has the unique ability to sound stupid and incoherent while making a billion dollars.

Jerry would be a great color announcer, imagine him in the booth. It would be epic.

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.

I never thought about what they will do but I don't think there will be an NFL in 30yrs.

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.”

This means NEVER...sorry peeps!

Yep that’s why they should sell while there is money to be made.

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

So it I win the lottery I still can’t own the cowboys......I couldn’t even be a minority’s owner..


Does the Jones have a 100% stake in the cowboys?

 

[Melonfeud]

Damn I only got 9.9 Billion, just this close to owning the Cowboys. Damn

* Man, that "Family/ long term investment" was particularly noteworthy in it's mental retention

 

[Melonfeud]

So here's a question:

If you were given ownership of the Dallas Cowboys, would you sell the team for 10 billion dollars?

Quicker than a lightening BOLT strike,,, & that's exactly what's gonna happen after ol' JERRY goes country

 

[DallasEast]

The funny thing is I believe Jones would sell the team but his selling price is not realistic what I think he would settle for. The key part of the conversation was:

“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.”

Knowing how I believe Jones thinks, it would not surprise me his opening bid was $10 billion just to see if he could get some nibbles. No bites? End of story. However, I could see Jones selling for $15 - $17 billion if he managed to haggle some poor sap(s) into upping his price. The Dallas Cowboys franchise is one of, if not the, most recognizable brands on the planet but I honestly doubt anyone or any group of investors on the planet would willingly to ponying up that amount.
