Jones went on to add that his immediate family will run the team "long after" he is goneGETTY IMAGES
Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones said the team is "just not for sale," but even if it was, he "wouldn’t accept anything less" than $10B, according to Sophie Alexander of BLOOMBERG NEWS. Despite naming a specific figure, Jones has "made it clear no amount of money will persuade him to sell the team." He said, "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." More Jones: "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." Alexander noted the Bloomberg Billionaires Index "conservatively values the team" at $4B (BLOOMBERG NEWS, 11/19). YAHOO SPORTS' Shalise Manza Young noted the Panthers earlier this year were sold to David Tepper for $2.3B, and at some point, the Seahawks are "going to be sold as well, after the death of owner Paul Allen last month" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 11/19).
