This is the 18th year that Forbes has compiled valuations of NFL teams. Some teams consistently rank high up the list (Cowboys ranked first the last 9 consecutive years), while the Bears are ranked at 8th. Read the full report from Forbes here. The commonality among the most valuable teams is that they are in big markets and play in cash-rich stadiums. Forbes used a combination of variables to compile the final values such as enterprise values (equity plus net debt), revenue and operating income (from 2014 season) and net of revenue sharing and stadium debt service.
