Miami Dolphins reject a $10B offer

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and CEO Tom Garfinkel will host their third Formula One Miami Grand Prix, knowing their courageous venture into one of the world’s fastest growing sports has elevated their NFL business. Ross recently entertained a stunning $10 billion offer for control of the Dolphins, Hard Rock Stadium, and the F1 Miami race – which nearly matches the combined record-setting sales of the Denver Broncos ($4.65 billion in 2022) and Washington Commanders ($6.05 billion in 2023) – two people with direct knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. They spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the matter. Ross declined the offer because he wants to keep the assets in his family, the two people said. Still, the offer shows the ceiling of NFL franchise valuations and sports conglomerates continues to rise exponentially.
