The Dallas Cowboys have the longest conference championship game drought in the NFL, but they’re all alone at the top in one category: money.
According to Sportico, the Dallas Cowboys are the wealthiest team in the NFL, with a valuation of $12.8 billion.
The Cowboys aren’t the only NFC East franchise at or near the top. The entire division – all four teams -ranked inside the top ten. The Giants came in third at $10.25 billion, the Eagles ranked sixth at $8.43 billion, and the Commanders were tenth at $7.47 billion.
“NFL franchise valuation, derived from metrics by which football-team transactions occur, including aggregating local and national revenues and factoring in a team-specific multiplier,” Sportico reports. “This represents the market value of the team itself, excluding related businesses held by its owners. It includes the value of each franchise’s 3.13% interest in the league’s properties, including NFL Films, NFL RedZone, 32 Equity (the private equity investment vehicle established by the NFL in 2013), and its digital platforms, which are acquired/dispossessed in tandem with the sale of a team.”
Now, none of that will make Cowboys fans feel any better about the fact that Dallas hasn’t been to a Super Bowl since the first term of the Clinton administration. And it especially won’t make them feel very good, considering the absurdly wealthy Cowboys organization is still locked in a contract standoff with their best player, Micah Parsons.
