This comes a year after Dallas became the first team to crack the $10 billion club, where the Los Angeles Rams ($10.43 billion) and New York Giants ($10.25 billion) have since joined.<\/p>\n<p>As a whole, the NFL continued to see skyrocketing values with an average of $7.13 billion, up 20% from a year ago. Meanwhile, the average NBA team was valued at $4.6 billion, the average MLB team at $2.82 billion and the average NHL team at $1.79 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The league\u2019s least valuable team: the Cincinnati Bengals, at $5.5 billion.

The team still hasn\u2019t reached an NFC championship game since its last Super Bowl title following the 1995 season, by far the longest drought in the NFC. The next most recent team is the Chicago Bears in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys made the playoffs in three straight seasons from 2021 to 2023, but stumbled to a 7-10 record last year, which led to the ouster of head coach Mike McCarthy. The team\u2019s previous offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer was controversially promoted to replace him, and will be attempting to break through with a roster similar to last year\u2019s.<\/p>\n<div id=\"link-package-module\">\n<section>\n<header><\/header>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/108027901-1725039215422-gettyimages-1810412451-ar0a1297_bmietow4.jpeg?v=1725479288&amp;w=1600&amp;h=900\" alt=\"Dallas Cowboys become \u2018FIRST NFL team to hit $12.8 billion after record revenue in 35 years after Jerry Jones bought the club for $140 million\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>Part of the reason the Cowboys are so valuable is they command attention from the football world at all times, for good or bad reasons. The past couple weeks perfectly exemplify that, from the trailers for the Netflix docuseries \u201cAmerica\u2019s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys\u201d to star pass-rusher\u00a0Micah Parson\u2019s trade request.\u00a0The latter has become the story of the preseason, with\u00a0Jones regularly facing reporters\u00a0with alternating optimism and pessimism.<\/p>\n<p>Jones has become an increasingly controversial figure among Cowboys fans as the team\u2019s Super Bowl titles recede further into the past and the fact he\u2019s now sitting on an 11-figure property isn\u2019t going to make those people any happier. A Super Bowl is really the only way to change that, and it can definitely be said the Cowboys won\u2019t lack for resources there.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"nfls-5-most-valuable-teams-per-sportico\" data-jump-link-target=\"\">NFL\u2019s 5 most valuable teams, per Sportico<\/h2>\n<p>1.
