Quarterback Brock Berlin was cut by the St. Louis Rams, so barring an unexpected addition to the Rams QB corps, rookie Keith Null has won the battle for the No. 3 quarterback position with the Rams.

Check it out Cowboys Fans

Surprising no one, the Dallas Cowboys are the NFL's most valuable franchise for the third year in a row, as rated by Forbes. The Cowboys (1.65 billion) also are the second most valuable sports franchise in the world, trailing only Manchester United (1.87 billion).

Top 5 NFL teams
1. Cowboys
2. Redskins
3. Patriots
4. Giants
5. Jets

The bottom of the list
30. Atlanta
31. Vikings
32. Raiders

I was shocked to find out the Texans, a team who has yet to finish above .500, is the sixth most valuable franchise in the NFL. Pittsburgh, or as some are calling them now: Sixburgh, is right in the middle of the list at No. 16. For a team with six rings, they aren't very flashy.
