Philadelphia Eagles rank among most valuable teams in the NFL

Every year around this time, Forbes releases a list of the top 50 most valuable sports teams. The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles made the cut once again.

According to Forbes, the Eagles are currently worth $2.65 billion. That’s a 6% increase from last year’s value at $2.5 billion.

It goes without saying that the Eagles are worth a lot more now than they were when Jeffrey Lurie originally purchased the franchise in 1994 for $185 million.

The Eagles’ current valuation makes them the 22nd most valuable sports franchise in the world. That’s where they ranked last year. They’re also still the 10th most valuable NFL franchise.

2 - New England Patriots - 6th overall, $3.7 billion, 9% increase

3 - New York Giants - 8th overall, $3.3 billion, 6% increase
