On Wednesday, Forbes.com released its annual estimated values of all 32 NFL teams, with the Colts slotting in at No. 20 at $2.65 billion, an 11% increase from the organization's list last year.

Forbes has the Panthers valued at $2.4 billion (22nd) and the Bills at $1.9 billion (32nd).

Irsay's daughters, Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Irsay, are all listed as vice chair/owner.

The Dallas Cowboys are ranked No. 1 at $5.5 billion, New England No. 2 at $4.1 billion and the New York Giants No. 3 at $3.9 billion

He's practically worth 3 billion.

Once you get to 1 billion, I imagine anything else is nothing to get excited about. What, is he going to buy his yacht a yacht?

There's some old interview where they asked Jerry Buss if he would sell the Lakers for a few billion dollars. This is like the 90's so crazy amount then. He said no because if you gave him a couple billion there's only one thing he'd wanna buy, the Lakers

 

[Lootpack]

They tried.

 

[MikelArteta]

dont blame him i wouldn't either, teams been in his family for like 40 years

 

[SadimirPutin]

Owning a team is a prestige thing for a lot of them

There would be no number you could offer Jerry Jones to sell the cowboys

 

[ORDER_66]

That shyt is crazy... who made the offer??

IF YOURE ALREADY A RICH
WHY WOULD YOU SELL A NFL TEAM?

THATS GENERATIONAL WEALTH.

[BonafideDefacto]

If I owned a team I wouldn't sell that shyt either for no amount of money. These teams values are only going to increase. Outside of the fraternity and notoriety...cash just only goes so far. I'd rather be Mark Davis in the pockets with the raiders than a person worth about a billion.

 

[krazykid18]

who wants to sell a sports team in this day and age

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

I would have sold it

What if the nfl folds due to brain damage shyt down the road?

Take the billions and run

3.2b is more than generational wealth anyway

 

[Bboystyle]

Id sell. With NFL being soft and people being aware of the dangers with CTE ect, the sport might not be what it is/used to 20 years down the line

 

[Lootpack]

There's literally no reason for him to sell. He's the biggest Colts fan in the world.

there are cultural reasons the NFL wont go away
