  • The Dallas Cowboys top Forbes' list of the richest NFL franchises. With an estimated value of $2.1 billion, the Cowboys are now the wealthiest franchise in all of sports - nevermind they haven't been to a Super Bowl in nearly two decades. Last year, according to Forbes, Dallas generated $500 million in total revenue - $80 million alone from stadium sponsorships.
  • The Patriots have won a Super Bowl (or two) in the last decade and are valued at $1.64 billion.
  • RGIII aside, the Redskins have a loyal following that attends games and drive its value to $1.6 billion.
  • A few Super Bowls and a new stadium put the Giants value at $1.47 billion.
  • The Texans have only been in the league for 10 years, but with more than 200 luxury boxes and nearly 9,000 club seats at their home stadium in Houston, their value is set at $1.31 billion.
  • The Jets play on the same field as the Giants, but only pull in $27 million in profits to set their value at $1.28 billion.
  • Forbes values the Eagles at $1.26 billion.
  • Renovations to Soldier Field have pushed the franchise value to $1.19 billion.
  • With a new stadium in the works, San Francisco's franchise saw its value rise nearly 19 percent to $1.18 billion.
  • A $140 million addition to Lambeau Field hikes the Packers' value to $1.16 billion.
  • With $15 million in profits and an estimated value of $837 million, the Falcons rank 28th among the 32 franchises.
