Summary
Jerry Jones said he is open to Mark Cuban becoming a Dallas Cowboys co-owner through Cuban's private equity firm, Harbinger, and Cuban said the fund would be open to the idea.
NFL owners approved private equity investment two years ago, allowing firms to buy 3% to 10% of a franchise, creating the path for any Cowboys minority sale.
Stephen Jones said days earlier the family would not rule out selling a portion of the team but would be selective about any partner, signaling a broader willingness to bring in outside capital.
Forbes values the Cowboys at $13 billion—the highest in North American pro sports—while Cuban sold nearly 75% of the Mavericks in 2023 at a $3.5 billion valuation and still owns 27%.
