The problem with just looking at operating income is that NFL player cost can fluctuate widely year to year for teams, while looking at something like revenue is much more stable when comparing teams. Player costs will become closer over time since all NFL teams are required the spend at least 90% of the cumulative cap over a 3,3,4 year time period however in a single year it can vary greatly. For example currently the 49ers have the highest cash spending at $337,546,694 while the least are the Raiders at $218,426,166. Forbes has already released their estimates for the 2023 season and only two teams on this list is the same in the bottom 5. The 2023 list would be Lions $56 million, Packers $60 million, Bengals $76 million, Ravens $77 million, Falcons $94 million. If you look at revenue figures for 2022 and 2023 season however it's the same 5 teams on the bottom. (2023/2024 number in millions) Lions, ($495/$501), Bengals($498/$549), Cardinals($500/$546), Bills($503/$552), Titans($516/$561).

What matters most to ownership is the value of the team as equity raises the value of their personal portfolio and can be used to acquire more assets. So operating income is important and shows the health of the business but it is the value of the asset (the team) that really matters to the ownership group and increasing the value of the franchise is a priority.

The Cowboys have sucked for 30 years. I can’t believe they’re the most profitable. Actually, I can. I just wish they weren’t. Jerry Jones can just go jump in some well somewhere.

Metro Detroit has a huge population, and it is spread-out, but that's not the problem with the Lions. They have only won 2 playoff games in the last 50 years, the last one coming just this year. Its the owners. The Ford family has owned this team since day one and they view the club as a novelty. We've had coaches being rehired even after win-less seasons. This club has had incredible talent over the decades, but the coaches were always subpar, yet the owners just keep them around year after year.
