That Cincinnati Bengal are one of the oldest NFL franchises at over 50. However, in a small market town, this does not add to its value, which is less than what fans may have imagined.
The Bengals are ranked 31st on the NFL’s list of Most Valuable Franchises. The list was compiled by the popular and respected company, Forbes. That Dallas Cowboys topped the list.
Given their value of over $ 6 billion, there are some pretty wild facts about their value compared to other teams.
“Here’s a look at the list of the NFL’s Most Valuable Franchises. You’ll find that the Cowboys ($ 6.5 billion) are worth nearly $ 2 billion more than the two least valuable franchises – the Bengals and Bills – totaling $ 4.545 billion. You will also find that the most valuable league is NFC East, with all four of its teams placed in the top nine. ” John Breech from CBS Sports written down.
The Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in the world with that New York Yankees, New York Knicks and Barcelona follow them. That New England Patriots are the only other NFL team in the top 10.
Given the Bengals’ location in the heart of downtown Cincinnati, beautifully situated on the river, their value is understandable. And, hey, at least it won’t be the last in the league as the Bills claim that spot.
The Bengals are well below the nearly $ 3.5 billion average for NFL franchises, which Forbes also found. They have improved their valuation of $ 2 billion from last year.
However, given the amount of young talent this roster currently has, the future of this franchise is very bright. Hopefully string a few Super bowl Wins along with former # 1 superstar pick Joe Burrow at the top will help change the history of values.
