The Washington Redskins may sit near the midline of the NFL when it comes to talent and production each year, but once again they are near the top when it comes to franchise value.
Forbes recently released its list of the top 50 most valuable sports franchises in the world, and the Redskins came in near the top, tied for No. 14 at an estimated value of $3.1 billion.
The estimated value has not increased at all over the past year, but the Redskins had an operating income of $122 million in 2018.
Washington currently ranks as the fifth most valuable franchise in the NFL, trailing only the Dallas Cowboys (No. 1, $5 billion), New England Patriots (No. 7, $3.8 billion), the New York Giants (No. 10, $3.3 billion), and the Los Angeles Rams (No. 12, $3.2 billion).
The NFL currently holds 26 of the world’s 50 most valuable franchises in the world, though the top six consists of three soccer clubs and a couple of NBA franchises.
