So Forbes comes out with a list of the richest NFL sports franchises and no big surprise the Jags came in dead last. You have a team that’s still fairly new compared to the rest of the NFL and they haven’t had a lot of success in their history especially over the past few seasons. Taking a look at the bottom of the Forbes list you have a pattern that forms.

Ahead of the Jags you have the Raider, then Rams, Bills, and Vikings. All these teams have trouble with blackouts, all these teams have been rumored to be heading to LA, all are small markets, and none of these teams had a winning record last year. Add all that up and of course the teams won’t make money. Winners sell tickets, ticket sales make teams money it’s not a hard thing to understand. Now look at the top teams on the list. Dallas, New England, Washington, New York Giants, Houston, New York Jets, and Philly all are big city markets. Most of the teams have been around for decades and most of them are consistent winners.

Don’t fall into the depression of the Jags being at the bottom of another NFL list. Seems like every list that comes out Jags rank near the bottom but keep in mind there are only 6 other teams ahead of the Jags outside the NFL. That means in all other sports in the country Jags are more valuable than 95 percent of them. The season kicked off and the Jags have a real shot to be in the mix toward the end of the season. Don’t let the Forbes article stop the momentum Shad Khan and Mike Mularkey have built all of season.
