Wonder what Parsons cut is on the #1 in sales jersey? I mean how many jerseys is that? 500, 5,000, 50,000, 100,000? Does he get 2%, 5%? Who the hell knows…
Was wondering that myself.....
NFL players receive around two-thirds, or approximately 67%, of the revenue generated from jersey sales, according to the agreement between the
NFL Players Association (NFLPA), the players’ union, and the league in 2021.
NFL players also get paid royalties for the number of jerseys sold that bear their names and numbers.
The royalty rates are set by the NFLPA. These royalties can add up significantly, providing a lucrative bonus to a player’s annual income.
For example, in 2022, Zach Wilson received $465,660 in royalties, while back in 2018, Tom Brady received a whopping $2.35 million in group licensing endorsement royalties.
Certainly, not every player makes millions from royalties, but they reap a substantial amount.
For example, Dak Prescott took home $2 million in royalties. Meanwhile, the league’s union also benefits, as it gets a share of the revenue produced by jersey sales.
