By ADAM WELLS
Per the 2018 NFL team valuations by Forbes, the Cowboys lead the way by a wide margin at $5 billion. The New England Patriots ($3.8 billion), New York Giants ($3.3 billion), Los Angeles Rams ($3.2 billion) and the Washington Redskins ($3.1 billion) round out the top five.
The Rams had the biggest one-year jump in value with a seven percent increase from 2017. They also have the largest debt/value percentage (45), with some of that due to the $4.9 billion cost to build a new stadium expected to open in 2020.
The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles checked in at No. 10 with a value of $2.75 billion.
On the other side of the spectrum, the Buffalo Bills are the least valuable franchise at $1.6 billion. The Oakland Raiders generated the least amount of revenue ($335 million), while the Detroit Lions' operating income of $4.1 million is nearly $20 million less than any other team.
The average value of an NFL franchise in 2018 is $2.57 billion.
