Forbes magazine, famous for its rich lists, just came out with its evaluations of the 32 NFL teams. No surprise, Jerry Jones' Dallas Cowboys tops the list with a current value of $1.65 billion.
In second place are the Washington Redskins at $1.55 billion, followed by the New England Patriots ($1.361 billion), New York Giants ($1.183 billion) and their neighbors, the New York Jets ($1.17 billion).
Overall, the Redskins are the most profitable NFL club, with operating income of $90.3 million; while the Cowboys posted operating income of only $9.2 million--perhaps because of the cost of opening their new mega-stadium.
Only two NFL teams are unprofitable: the Seattle Seahawks, who lost $2.4 million, and the biggest loser of them all, the Oakland Raiders. Al Davis' once wondrous franchise is now the least valuable NFL club at a "mere" $797 million, plus the Raiders had the biggest operating loss in the league at $5.7 million.
