The Bills have an estimated value of $2.99 billion in 2022. That figure represents a 1-year increase of approximately 20% when compared to last year.

That's a nice increase for the Bills which is one of many small market NFL teams that sometimes have a hard time competing financially with other NFL teams who larger markets like LA, Chicago, and New York City New Jersey.

The Dallas Cowboys remain the most valuable NFL Franchise with an estimated value of $7.64 billion, while the Cincinnati Bengals remain in last place with an estimated value of $2.84 billion.
