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.
