Cardinals franchise value has nearly doubled in last 5 years

The Arizona Cardinals do not have one of the more valuable franchises in the NFL but it is still worth a lot.

According to Forbes, NFL teams are valued at an average of $3.5 billion dollars. Arizona is below that average.

They rank 27th in the league at $2.65 billion. It is an increase of 14% over the last year.

However, it has increased in value significantly over the last five years.

Back in 2016, the franchise was worth approximately $1.4 billion, nearly half of its value now.

And if you consider that Charles Bidwill, current Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill’s grandfather, purchased the team for the sum of $50,000 in 1932, the Bidwill family is sitting on a goldmine if they ever want to sell the team at some point.
