Yes, Jerry Jones has made the Cowboys the most valuable sports franchise in the world, which means it is no surprise to see the franchise top Forbes list of the most valuable NFL teams.

One term that could describe the Cowboys would be the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

The organization just dropped a $136 million bag in the lap of star receiver CeeDee Lamb and is now working on a way to do the same for quarterback Dak Prescott.

However, knowing the value of the franchise may not be in the best interest of the team when in the middle of contract negotiations.

Either way, the rich will get richer.
