Jerry Jones has consistently made it clear that he has no intention of ever selling the Dallas Cowboys. Despite the Cowboys being the most valuable franchise in all of sports—likely fetching $10 billion or more on the open market—Jones’s passion for the team means he’s not going to sell.
However, this hasn’t stopped Fox Sports 1 host Craig Carton from floating an outlandish rumor this week.
“I think they’re going to sell the team,” Carton claimed. “I would not be surprised if we start hearing rumblings that Jerry Jones is going after hedge funds in Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi, trying to find the suitor to give him the largest check ever given to the owner of a North American sports franchise.”
Carton has been pushing this rumor for some time. Earlier this year, he confidently predicted that Jones would sell the team within two years.
“It’s as clear as day to me that Jerry Jones will sell the Dallas Cowboys within the next two years,” Carton said. “He will not own the team beyond the next two years, because this ain’t Jerry Jones, and Jerry Jones can’t go out like that, because that’s not what Jerry Jones is all about.”
Despite Carton’s assertions, there’s little evidence to suggest that Jones is considering selling the Cowboys. Jones has long been passionate about the team, and his involvement has been deeply personal and driven by a love of the game. The idea of him selling the team, especially to foreign investors, seems far-fetched.
Jones’s commitment to the Cowboys is evident in every decision he makes for the franchise. He has been the owner since 1989, overseeing multiple Super Bowl victories and maintaining the team’s status as a powerhouse in the NFL. His hands-on approach and deep involvement in both football operations and business decisions highlight his dedication.

The rumors, while sensational, don’t align with Jones’s history or his public statements. He has repeatedly expressed his desire to keep the Cowboys within his family for generations to come. This personal attachment goes beyond financial considerations, making the idea of a sale even less likely.
Jerry Jones remains an iconic figure in the NFL, known for his flamboyant style and business acumen. His tenure as owner of the Cowboys has been marked by significant achievements and a steadfast commitment to the team’s success.
Selling the team would be a radical departure from the legacy he has built over the past three decades.
As of now, fans and analysts can rest assured that Jerry Jones is not going anywhere. The Dallas Cowboys will continue to be under his ownership, driven by his unwavering passion for the team and the sport.
