After two disappointing seasons in a row, you would expect a little less growth economically from a team like the Arizona Cardinals.
However, they continue to be among the most valuable franchises in the entire world, along with just about every other NFL franchise.
The Arizona Cardinals came in 41st on Forbes 50 Most Valuable Sports Teams of 2018 list with a value of $2.15 billion, which is up 6%, even if they have not kept pace since they peaked as the 20th most valuable NFL franchise in 2015.
The Cardinals within the NFL are down to the 23rd most valuable NFL franchise, but the strong base of the NFL, the market sharing, and the TV contracts, boost the overall numbers, even in down years for certain organizations.
