Jerry Jones values the Cowboys at $10 billion but states they are never for sale
After buying the franchise in 1989 for $140 million, Jerry Jones believed he could make a monumental return on his investment if he were to sell. However, Jones is a die-hard fan and says that selling Dallas is something he would never do.
Speaking to Peter King of NBC Sports, Jones said:
"I'll say it definitively. I will never do it. I will never sell the Cowboys. Ever."
Forbes values Dallas at $6.5 billion, a little under the value that Jones has placed upon his beloved team. But even at a figure like that, they are well ahead of the next highest-valued NFL team. Since 2016, they have been the most valuable franchise in the entire sports world.
Jerry Jones believes the Cowboys would sell for more than $10 billion right now, but he insists he's never selling. wp.me/pbBqYq-chk4
