Browns franchise value: Not in the top 20 in the NFL, still highly ranked in the world

The saying that something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it applies to major sports franchises. While those willing to pay billions of dollars to own a team that could cost them money, heartache and stress is a low number of people, we’d love to be one of them.

Especially when it comes to our beloved Cleveland Browns.

Current owner Jimmy Haslam paid just over a billion dollars in 2012 for a franchise with a valuation of just under a billion. Since then, the team has mostly struggled on the field but Browns fans are the best in the world and have kept the stadium packed.
