Stung by the economic recession and looming possibility of a players lockout in 2011, the average team value of an NFL franchise has dropped for the first time in 12 years, according to Forbes magazine.
The average worth of NFL teams fell 2% to $1.02 billion in 2010 from $1.04 billion last year, according to the study which can be found at www.forbes.com/nfl. That’s the first drop since the magazine began tracking team values in 1998.
Owner Jerry Jones’ Dallas Cowboys rank as the NFL’s most valuable at $1.8 billion. Rounding out the Top 5: the Washington Redskins ($1.55 billion); New England Patriots ($1.37 billion); New York Giants ($1.18 billion); and Houston Texans ($1.17 billion).
