The most valuable franchise in the NFL? I'd love to know which teams bring in the most revenue towards the NFL itself. Ticket sales, TV markets, Championships, recent success... who is worth the most value? Who do they not want to move from their current cities, who is the last team they would uproot to go somewhere like Los Angeles.

If you had to rank the top 5 most valuable franchises to the NFL who would you go with?

I'd go with..
1. Green Bay Packers (4 championships, one of the most storied franchises obviously.)
2. Dallas Cowboys (5 Championships, whether you think it's a load of crap or not, it's "America's Team" or, at least it was!)
3. Pittsburgh Steelers (6 Championships, dominated the '70s)
4. San Francisco 49ers (5 Championships, Two Hall of Fame QB's in back to back decades.)
5. New Orleans Saints (1 Championship, another one of the most storied franchises... maybe for all the wrong reasons at first, loveable losers turned into one of the greatest offenses to ever play the game. Not to mention constantly bringing in the highest TV ratings for the NFL, straight moo lah.)


Since the merger.

New England Patriots (3 championships)
New York Giants (3 championships)

these two are pretty valuable

Agreed, you could switch either of those out with the Saints.

I was just going by championships with those two.
But the saints right now should be top 5 in revenue, so I guess would increase it's value.

Wow, so according to that the Saints are worth $965 Million. Which ranks them #21 in the League. Also, would not have expected the Panthers to be worth over a Billion. Weird.

They also stated that the Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable team for the 5th straight year, worth $1.85 Billion. Wow

Yeah, I honestly wouldn't have expected them to be very high in the league. While our fans are extremely supportive and loyal, you don't really get the whole corporate support feel for the Saints. I could be wrong, but I would bet the Giants, Packers, Cowboys, Patriots, etc. would be up there because of the "big markets"

There's no way the Saints are that high on the list. A dismal Jets would top the Saints just on market size alone. The Saints are a small market team. The only small market team I would expect to see in the top ten is Green Bay. Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Both NY teams all top the Saints.
