Ranking All NFL Teams From Least To Most Valuable

11. San Diego Chargers
Those who have gotten to this point of the piece can probably guess what is going to be mentioned regarding the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers call what is often referred to as one of the more beautiful cities in the United States home, but the team needs a modern football stadium. To receive that, the Chargers may have to partner up with the Oakland Raiders for a deal that would relocate both of those franchises to a different part of California. San Diego fans won t like it, but it looks like they are going to lose their beloved team. An announcement of that reality could come before 2016.Current Value: $1.525 Billion
12. Kansas City Chiefs
Non scientific polls that put together random pieces of information to determine the best fans in the NFL often place those who follow the Kansas City Chiefs at or near the top of such lists. The Chiefs have not rewarded fans for that loyalty in recent memory, as the club has largely been a one and done playoff team when Kansas City has qualified for postseason play. It was back in January of 2014 when the Chiefs choked away a massive lead against the Indianapolis Colts during Wild Card Weekend. Few analysts are giving the Chiefs any real chance of winning the Super Bowl this year.Current Value: $1.53 Billion
13. Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals made positive headlines earlier this year when the club hired Jen Welter to be the first female NFL coach in history. Welter worked with the team s inside linebackers during preseason practices and games. High expectations are hovering over the Cardinals at the start of the 2015 NFL regular season, as veteran quarterback Carson Palmer is fully recovered from a serious knee injury that he suffered during the 2014 campaign. Do whatever possible to keep Palmer healthy, Arizona, and the playoffs could be in your future. Veteran wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, one of the overall good guys in the NFL, deserves one last chance at a championship.Current Value: $1.54 Billion
14. Carolina Panthers
What happens when a once struggling franchise makes multiple playoff appearances? That team raises ticket prices. The Carolina Panthers have done just that over the past two years, according to Forbes, following the club making back to back playoff runs. Neither of those runs resulted in championships or even Super Bowl berths, though, and fans want more from their favorite team. Quarterback Cam Newton, who is featured in national advertising campaigns that are showcased on NFL Sundays, will continue to have his doubters until he can help guide the Panthers to the big game as have fellow QBs such as Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick.Current Value: $1.56 Billion
15. Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings will move into the team s brand new stadium in 2016, but that is not on the minds of fans and analysts who cover the Vikings at the moment. Running back Adrian Peterson, who missed all of the 2014 NFL regular season after his controversial methods for disciplining his children were made public, is back on the roster. Minnesota has second year quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who impressed with his play and his poise during his rookie season, leading the offense. This team is expected to make the playoffs this season, and anything shy of that would be a disappointment for fans.Current Value: $1.59 Billion
16. Atlanta Falcons
The NFL and Major League Soccer have been business partners for years. MLS side New England Revolution and the New England Patriots share a stadium, and the same can be said for the Seattle Sounders and Seattle Seahawks. That trend is going to continue, as the Atlanta Falcons and a future expansion Atlanta MLS team, Atlanta United FC, will share a venue when that stadium opens. Now that the hunt for a new home is out of the way, the Falcons can concentrate on taking care of business on the field. That begins with quarterback Matt Ryan, as Ryan has to be better if the Falcons are to leap ahead of the likes of the Seahawks and Green Bay Packers.Current Value: $1.67 Billion
17. Miami Dolphins
It is often said that Miami is not a good professional sports town unless superstars such as LeBron James are mainstays of home games. People who live in and around the Miami area are not originally from the region, and thus they already have their own favorite teams when they relocate down south. Winning solves everything, or at least that is the old adage often used in the sports world, and the hope would be that football fans would pay to watch the Miami Dolphins if they managed to mirror the New England Patriots or Seattle Seahawks. Doing that is, of course, easier said than done.Current Value: $1.85 Billion
18. Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks are, on paper, a bargain at anything under $3 billion these days. Seattle has appeared in back to back Super Bowl games, winning one of those and coming up a yard short in the other. The Seahawks have a talented young quarterback in Russell Wilson, a man recently put pen to paper on a new extension that will keep him with the Seahawks for years to come. Seattle posts impressive home sellouts, and the 12th Man follows the Hawks wherever they play road contests. The Seahawks and Seattle Sounders offer proof that Seattle is a wonderful sports town.Current Value: $1.87 Billion
19. Indianapolis Colts
Forbes points out two interesting factoids about the financial state of the Indianapolis Colts: The Colts pay just $250,000 per year to rent Lucal Oil Stadium, and the team has almost no debt. One would think, then, that Indianapolis should be able to surround young quarterback Andrew Luck with more and better talent. The Colts, according to Spotrac, began the 2015 NFL regular season with $11 million of salary cap space available, and that money could have been spent on providing one of the best overall quarterbacks in the NFL with weapons that he needs if Luck is to out duel Tom Brady in a one and done playoff game.Current Value: $1.88 Billion
20. Pittsburgh Steelers
Any new NFL owner looking to achieve success would be wise to examine the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are commonly mentioned as one of the best pro sports organizations in North America. Pittsburgh has six Super Bowl championships to its name. No team in the NFL may have a better road advantage, as Steelers fans follow the club from city to city regardless of the team s record. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger may be getting up there in age, but he will be looking to show that he has plenty left in the tank during the final years of what has been a historic career.Current Value: $1.9 Billion
