It's hard to believe Stephen Ross got $15 billion offer for the Dolphins

Dolphins owner Stephen Ross claims he received an offer close to $15 billion for the Miami Dolphins franchise. However, sources suggest that the offer might have been between $10 billion to $11 billion, potentially including the team and its stadium. Adding the Miami F1 race could increase the valuation by another $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion. Despite the speculation, Ross maintains control over the team, with no requirement to sell or relinquish ownership. The situation highlights the autonomy NFL owners have over their franchises, as they are not subject to performance-based evaluations or ownership tests. This autonomy means fans have no influence over ownership decisions, and team performance issues often stem from ownership rather than management. NFL franchise values continue to rise, benefiting owners financially regardless of the team's success on the field.
