Chicago Bears have the most valuable franchise in the NFC North

Forbes has put out their annual list of the 50 most valuable sports teams in the world and the Chicago Bears checked in at 16th overall at $2.45 Billion. They fall right before the Philadelphia Eagles, with the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Bulls tied for 18th.

The Dallas Cowboys were #1 on the list and since the list itself is not only a slideshow, but the worst slideshow in the history of slideshows, here’s the full list of NFL teams and where they ranked overall. (h/t Levi Damien of Silver and Black Pride)

1. Cowboys
6. Patriots
8. Skins

10. 49ers

So not only were the Bears 8th overall among their fellow NFL franchises, but they were the most valuable team in their division. The Packers were 10th in the NFL with the Vikings in 18th, and the Lions didn’t even crack the top 50.

Let’s hear it for the McCaskey family!
