It's no secret that Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes are extremely pivotal to their respective teams' success. But that was made even more apparent after Forbes published a list of the NFL's most valuable franchises.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were ranked 21st on the list and the Kansas City Chiefs were placed right behind them at 22. If you take a look at the value both these teams had prior to the arrivals of Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes, compared to now, then you can come to the conclusion that this major jump on the Forbes list is largely due to their additions.

The two quarterbacks' undeniable success has resulted in a massive uptick in value for the organizations they take the field for; nearly immersing both franchises into the $3 billion club. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, owned by the Glazer family, stand at a value of $2.94 billion as a result of a phenomenal 29% increase in value. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs, owned by the Hunt family, had a one-year change of 17%, equating to a value of $2.93 billion.
