CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Dallas Cowboys haven’t played in the Super Bowl since winning it in January 1996. Since then they’ve been 5-13 in the playoffs and haven’t reached an NFC Championship Game.
But that hasn’t hurt the valuation of America’s Team. Despite that lack of playoff success, the Cowboys are tops in the NFL with a valuation of $10.32 billion, the first team to exceed the $10 billion mark.
That’s according to Sportico, which released its list of team valuations on Tuesday.
The Cleveland Browns are valued at $5.14 billion, which puts them at No. 23 on Sportico’s list. That’s an increase of two spots for the Browns, who have won just one playoff game since the team’s return to the NFL in 1999.
That’s still a nice return for Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam, who purchased the team in 2012 for $1 billion. The Haslams currently are considering building a domed stadium in Brook Park for $2.4 billion. If that happens, it most likely would increase the value of the franchise.
The other NFL team in Ohio, the Cincinnati Bengals, is ranked at the bottom of Sportico’s list with a valuation of $4.71 billion. That’s despite making a Super Bowl appearance during the 2021 season and having one of the best quarterbacks in the league with Joe Burrow.
The team that beat the Bengals in the Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Rams, are ranked No. 2 on the list at $7.79 billion. The Rams play at SoFi Stadium, a state-of-the-art indoor-outdoor facility which cost between $5 billion and $6 billion to construct.

1. Dallas Cowboys, $10.32 billion
