After a recent team valuation, Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have 10+ billion reasons to be excited for the future.

The Cowboys were valued at $10+ billion in a recent study by Spotico, which looked at all 32 teams in the league. This is the first time in NFL history that a team has surpassed the $10 billion mark. For reference, the Cowboys were estimated at $9 billion by Forbes in September 2023.

They also found the Cowboys were clearly the most valuable team in the NFL with second place (Los Angeles Rams) trailing by $2.5+ billion. But how does the rest of Texas stack up against the Cash Cow(boys)?

Houston Texans | NFL | $5.5 billion
Dallas Mavericks | NBA | $4.5 billion
Houston Rockets | NBA | $4.4 billion
San Antonio Spurs | NBA | $3.25 billion
Houston Astros | MLB | $2.5 billion

Note: Team valuations according to Forbes.
