New York Giants are NFL's third-most valuable franchise
The Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, and Green Bay Packers are the only three teams that have been active for longer than the Giants, but a team's longevity in the league doesn't have much bearing on what that organization is worth today.
For example, the Dallas Cowboys joined the league in 1960, nearly 40 years after the Giants, yet they are the most valuable franchise in 2025.
Sportico released its annual NFL valuations on Wednesday, and the Cowboys top the list. The Giants, though, finally broke the $10 billion mark and have become the third-most valuable team in the NFL.
The Giants' valuation is up 34 percent from 2024.
Below the team valuations listed on Sportico's site is an explanation of how they determined the values, what assets they counted, etc. Part of the explanation is as follows:
2025 Valuation: The sum of the enterprise value of an NFL franchise combined with the value of team-related businesses and real estate holdings.
Team Value: NFL franchise valuation, derived from metrics by which football-team transactions occur, including aggregating local and national revenues and factoring in a team-specific multiplier. This represents the market value of the team itself, excluding related businesses held by its owners. It includes the value of each franchise's 3.13% interest in the league's properties, including NFL Films, NFL RedZone, 32 Equity (the private equity investment vehicle established by the NFL in 2013) and its digital platforms, which are acquired/dispossessed in tandem with the sale of a team.
There is an additional category for Team-Related Businesses and Real Estate Holdings, which is broken down in a way that attempts to eliminate counting any money coming to the team that's not directly related to football operations.
Of the top five teams with the highest valuation, only the Cowboys and Giants have missed the Super Bowl for the last 10 years, which proves that just because a franchise is worth more money, it doesn't mean they field a better football team.
This year, the Giants have a chance to prove that they've located the train tracks and are getting back on board. Being one of the top-valued teams in the league, they need to start showing it on the field. They don't have to make the playoffs in 2025, although that is always the goal. If they can put together a winning season and pass the eye test, it will go a long way toward the team being worth what it's valued at.

New Yorkers Fight For Supremacy In Second Week Of NFL Preseason
The second week of NFL preseason kicks into high gear on Saturday with turf wars in both New York and Los Angeles. The New Yorkers will meet in their annual preseason game at MetLife Stadium, which is the regular-season home for both, after a pair of scrimmages earlier in the week. New Las Vegas coach Pete Carroll will make his home debut against former Bay Area rival San Francisco on Saturday, while the Los Angeles teams — the Rams and Chargers — will play the in the battle of SoFi Stadium. Given the caveat that these games are more for coaches to use as evaluation tools inasmuch as starters will see little if any time, results may vary. A look at three: Miami Dolphins (0-0-1) at Detroit Lions (1-1) Saturday, CBS/Paramount+, 1 pm ET The matchup The Dolphins are expected to take a long look at backup quarterback Zach Wilson, who is fighting with rookie seventh-round draft pick Quinn Ewers to be first in line behind concussion-prone Tua Tagovailoa, which because of that carries more weight than a normal position battle. Wilson led the Dolphins to touchdowns on both his drives after replacing Tagovailoa for the second series of a 24-24 tie with Chicago last week, and he was sacked four times. Rookie running back Ollie Gordon II will get a chance after moving the depth charge following the season-ending neck injury to Alexander Mattison. Detroit quarterback Kyle Allen, obtained in the offseason and Jared Goff insurance, outplayed second-year quarterback Hendon Hooker by throwing a pair of touchdown passes a week ago, and the battle continues. The competition will play out against Dolphins' second-teamers, which has the feel of a mismatch. The teams scrimmaged twice early in the week, when both teams' No. 1 offenses played well. The spread: Dolphins -1 1/2 The money line: Dolphins -118 The total: 36 1/2 The play: Detroit. The Lions have won and covered three of their last four preseason games and benefit by entering this match with an extra game under their belt. New York Giants (1-0) vs New York Jets (1-0) Saturday, NFL Network, 7 pm ET The matchup The Giants traded up in the draft to get quarterback Jaxson Dart after selecting edge rusher Abdul Carter with the third pick of the first round, and both are expected to get plenty of time in this yearly preseason match. Dart, drafted as the quarterback of the future after the Giants signed Russell Wilson to a one-year deal, might have wide receiver Garrett Wilson to throw to for a series or two. Wilson signed a five-year, $130 million deal a month ago. Justin Fields, who played with Wilson in Pittsburgh a year ago, will get a longer look than just the limited snaps he had in the 30-10 victory over Green Bay in the opener, when he completed three of four passes and had two carries for 14 yards and a touchdown. The spread: Giants -3 1/2 The money line: Giants -190 The total: -39.5 The play: The Jets. The AFC side of New York has won and covered the last four in the exhibition borough series, and three have gone under. Cincinnati Bengals (0-1) at Washington Commanders (0-1) Monday, ESPN, 6:10 pm ET The matchup The Bengals had a developing situation in practice Wednesday, when defensive lineman Shermar Stewart, their first round draft pick, plowed into quarterback Joe Burrow while sacking him in a live scrimmage. Burrow, obviously, was not to be touched, and two plays later offensive lineman Lucas Patrick started a fight with Stewart, who later apologized to Burrow. 'He said, 'It's cool as long as you do it on Sundays, too,'' said Stewart of Burrow's response. Stewart held out through organized teams activities and the first week of training camp before signing a four-year, $19 million deal. He is expected to pair with edge rusher Trey Hendrickson to bulk up the defense, but Hendrickson is still holding out. He has one year and $16 million remaining on his deal. The Commanders rivaled the Bengals in offense performance behind offensive rookie of the year quarterback Jayden Daniels in 2024, when they were fifth in points and seventh in total yards. They are operating at a disadvantage again this week while trying synch up with a new group. Starting wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who may not have played regardless, is on the physically unable to perform list while seeking an extension to the three-year, $68.3 million contract he signed in 2022. The Commanders retooled in the offseason by adding wide receiver Deb Samuel and left tackle Laremy Tunsil, new to Kliff Kingsbury's offense. But both starting guards are recovering from injury, which will test their depth here. The spread: Bengals - 4 1/2 The money line: Bengals -200 The total: 42.5 The play: Washington. The Bengals are 0-6-1 straight up and 2-5 in their last seven preseason games after opening with a loss to Philadelphia last week. It's no secret, they bide time until Burrow jump-starts them in the regular season. Last week: 1-0 Season: 1-0

Bills' former QB has moved on from NFL to sell insurance
Bills' former QB has moved on from NFL to sell insurance originally appeared on The Sporting News It can be hard for NFL players to transition into the "real world" after their football careers end. But one former quarterback is taking his best shot at it. Jake Fromm is now a client advisor at an insurance brokerage in the Atlanta area. MORE: Shedeur Sanders shows his NFL Draft slide might've been a mistake Fromm was a collegiate standout at the University of Georgia. The Buffalo Bills drafted him in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He bounced between the active roster and the practice squad in Buffalo for most of his first two seasons. In December 2021, the New York Giants claimed Fromm off the Bills' practice squad. Fromm's only NFL appearance in the regular season came that month for the Giants. By October 2022, the Washington Commanders had added Fromm to their practice squad. He bounced up and down in Washington through the end of the 2023 season. In May 2024, Washington released Fromm and he signed with the Lions. Fromm spent the 2024 season on Detroit's practice squad. MORE: Taylor Swift is coming on Travis Kelce's podcast The Lions released Fromm on April 23 of this year, and he's now a free agent. Fromm, who is 27 years old, hasn't announced a retirement or anything. He would likely welcome another NFL opportunity if it came. But for now, he's working on the next steps of his life, which is a quality way to approach things. If you need some insurance advising in the Atlanta area, Fromm may be your guy.
