Forbes: Cowboys worth $4.2B, most valuable team in NFL

17392372



    

NEW YORK (AP) _ Not only are the Dallas Cowboys the most valuable team in the

NFL, they are worth more than any franchise in sports.



Forbes’s NFL valuations show the Cowboys worth $4.2 billion, easily topping the

league for the 10th straight year. Next closest are the New England Patriots at

$3.4 billion.



Earlier this year, Forbes cited Jerry Jones’ team as the world’s most valuable

franchise.



The average NFL team is worth $2.34 billion, a 19 percent increase over last

year. That increase is primarily due to more rights fees for Thursday night

games, the Rams’ relocation from St. Louis to Los Angeles, the Vikings moving

into their new stadium in Minneapolis and the Atlanta Falcons nearing completion

of their new stadium.
