Likewise, in October, the NFL raised its debt limit for teams to $700 million, from $600 million, and for team buyers to $1.2 billion, from $1.1 billion. That should make it easier for a prospective NFL owner to cover the 30% of a team’s equity that the league requires a franchise’s general partner to hold.

So while the Cowboys are the first team to get to $10 billion, they surely won’t be the last.
