Aug 14, 2013, 3:37 PM | Updated: 3:37 pm

The Arizona Cardinals are valued at $961 million, ranked 24th out of 32 NFL teams according to Forbes.

The value is up from $922 million in 2012. The Cardinals also moved up a spot from 25th.

All 23 teams ahead of the Cardinals are valued at more than a billion dollars. At their recent pace, 2014 would be the year they hit the nine-zero club.

As far as NFC West teams go the Cardinals sit third, ahead of the St. Louis Rams.

The Dallas Cowboys sit atop the list at a whopping $2.3 billion.

Rounding out the top five are the New England Patriots, Washington Redskins, New York Giants and Houston Texans.

The least-valued team in the NFL? That would be the Oakland Raiders at $825 million. Hey, we’d take it and so would you.
