Have you ever wondered how much NFL teams are worth? How much money is invested into player contracts, stadiums, concessions, ticket sales, and other employees of each franchise? It is probably not surprising that the NFL team with the highest current value is the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are currently worth a little over 1.8 billion dollars and make around 420 million dollars a year in revenue. The Cowboys have increased their overall value by 9% from 2009 to 2010.
Most teams are not experiencing the same success as the Cowboys. Twenty out of the thirty-two teams in the NFL have decreased in value in the past year. The two Ohio teams are in this category. The Cleveland Browns franchise has decreased by 2% from 2009 to 2010 and the Cincinnati Bengals franchise has decreased 5%. The Cleveland Browns are currently worth around 1.015 billion dollars and the Cincinnati Bengals are worth 905 million dollars.
There are two teams that currently have a negative operating income. The Miami Dolphins' operating income is negative 7.7 million dollars and the Detroit Lions' operating income is negative 2.9 million dollars. The NFL team with the lowest current worth is the Jacksonville Jaguars at 725 million dollars. The three teams who make the lowest revenue per year are the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Detroit Lions, and the Oakland Raiders.
Even though twenty teams have decreased in value over the past year, these teams are still making millions of dollars. The NFL is currently the most popular it has ever been in its existence. Fans will continue to fill up stadiums, buy jerseys, and support their teams. Even with the recession, the NFL is doing well and has a very bright future.
