The average NFL franchise is worth more than $3 billion, according to data compiled by Sportico. 

The Dallas Cowboys rank first in the NFL at $6.43 billion with the Cincinnati Bengals ranking last at $2.12 billion.

The fair-market value of the NFL's 32 franchises collectively is $99 billion when considering team-related businesses and real estate held by owners.

The teams’ $15.83 billion in revenue in the last fiscal year, which represents the 2019 season, was greater than that of 298 companies on the Fortune 500. That averages to about $495 million per team.

In 2019, the Cowboys generated an estimated $871 million in revenue, which was 81% greater than the average of the other 31 teams.

Russell Okung has refuted a report that retirement was a consideration for him if the coronavirus pandemic worsened.

It was reported two weeks ago that the Carolina Panthers left tackle was evaluating whether to retire over coronavirus concerns if he felt the football environment was not safe.

Okung missed 10 games last season because of a pulmonary embolism due to blood clots.

"I always expected to play," he said. "It's unfortunate that so many people, certain people in the media, are more interested in being the first to report as opposed to reporting something that is accurate. No conversations like that have been had in order for that individual to feel it's necessary to put any information out there like that.

"Especially in this time, with so many people dealing with unemployment, to put any sort of farce information out there it's extremely disappointing."

Russell Okung is considering retiring from the NFL over COVID-19 concerns.

In March, the Carolina Panthers traded guard Trai Turner to the Los Angeles Chargers for Okung, who has one year left on a four-year, $53 million contract.

Okung has made two Pro Bowls and has earned nearly $100 million for his career.

Cam Newton still can't believe he signed with the New England Patriots this offseason.

"I'm still ... I don't want to say in disbelief at this particular point in time, but it's a surreal moment," Newton said Friday in his first official media availability with the Patriots.

"Nobody really knows how excited I am, just to be a part of this organization, in many ways [more] than one. Following up such a powerful dynasty, that is enriched in so much prestige, a lineage of success. A lot of people would hide from the notion to do certain things. But for me, I think this opportunity is something that I wake up pinching myself each and every day. It's so surreal."

Newton will wear No. 1 with the Patriots as he did with the Carolina Panthers.

"It's crazy, I just found myself putting on shirts and said, 'Oh my God!' I don't know when that moment [will come], but some day it will click that this is the norm," Newton said.
