Seahawks sold

I think you're missing the point. I'm not saying LEGALLY they should not be able to do it.

I'm saying the NFL puts a huge focus on preventing tampering between coaches and players with other teams.

They do this not for legal reasons but simply to prevent all of the negatives that come with it such as tampering and influence spreading to other coaches and players long before their contracts are up.

So with that mindset, it would also seem that if an owner of one team wants to pursue leaving that team to buy a new team, especially a division rival, that the NFL would expect that owner to leave their current team BEFORE attempting to buy the new team because that could lead to a lot of inside/internal information risks.

The legal angle would only come in after the deal was signed and if that happens, it actually would not surprise me to see the 49ers file legal motions to either protect their interests or in complaint of actions already taken by that owner during the process that in any way negatively impacts them.

If the NFL had a policy of requiring the current owner to sell their ownership of the existing team before attempting to buy another team, neither of those scenarios would be an issue.

To be clear, this isn't about ME saying it is right or wrong as that appears to be what you're debating.

What I'm saying is I am surprised the NFL allows it.

I dont buy into any kind of conspiracy theory of potential tampering. Perhaps you could expand on your specific concerns and negatives ?

And requiring a person to sell current stakes in a team could be an issue if weren’t approved of new purchase. I’d be curious how’d you’d handle that.

I doubt any current person with stakes in a team would be willing to give up current shares without approval of new purchase.

Honestly, you are making this into something WAY beyond what is worth discussing.

I made a simple statement and you seem to be highly focused on debating it which is obviously well beyond my level on concern.

What I said was, given the NFL's history of protecting their teams, I'm really surprised they allowed a team owner to keep ownership of one team while actively trying to buy ownership in a rival team.

Unfortunately I mistook your replies as not understanding what I was saying rather than you wanting to debate it.

If the NFL and 49ers are good with it, then more power to them.

I’m simply not understanding your concerns without more specificity of tampering claim.

And how you’d handle a prospective new owner regaining his old shares if new ones were not approved.
 
Saw an article if the hawks sells for over $9B, what would be the boys sell for if valued at $13B (tops for all and any sports team in the world) now.

I wouldn't care as long as he put the emphasis back on winning. Jerry gave up on that back in the time right before he hired Parcells.

Nobody who buys a team - in any league - cares about winning. It's all just equity groups.

My bet is that, when Jerry dies, Dallas will be sold for close to $20b to a Gulf state.

Forbes' 2025 estimated valuation of the Seattle Seahawks was $6.7 billion (link). The Dallas Cowboys' valuation was $13 billion.

Hypothetical: If the Jones cartel, I mean family, were willing to sell at or above the franchise's valuation, using an equal multiplier, Jerry Jones would accept no less than $18.6 billion. If I can only find a lucky cricket that will put together an investor group and pull off that doozy of a deal.

I’d guess bids would have to start about 15 mil as current worth of Cowboys in 2025 was 13.

But I’d suspect a bidding war and price could near closer to 20.

Cowboys make more money than any team in the league by far. It’s a cash cow while most nfl teams are more of a vanity buy if you bought them. The return wouldn’t be much a decade from now. But the cowboys are different. I think near 20 would be very possible

It would not phase me one bit if a bid that large was given to Jerry Jones. It would not surprise me at all if he turned it down too. He would milk media and public speculation of whether he would or would not, but he would reject the offer in the end. I am almost willing to break site rule #31 to emphasize my opinion.
