Oh, you are talking hypohteicaly. Yeah that could happen but the rest of the 99% are greedy.I agree but just bc someone is focused on making the most money possible doesn’t mean they necessarily worship money.
they could worship their family and hope to pass wealth on for multiple generations too, in that case money is just a medium to their life goal which I can’t begrudge anyone.
Actually, its the Fans who pay the players. The Owners keep the differenceI hope mods will let this stay in fan zone for 24 hours.
So they are not that greedy.
32 teams each with 200 mil cap this year, so 32x200 mil is 6.4 billion dollars!
I knocked off the 400 mill for unused cap.
On top of that consider team uniforms, jocks socks training equipment, training facility and maintenance of that.
Travel expenses every time team goes somewhere meals [some of these guys cant eat!]
Stadium maintenance , the electric and water bills for home games Stadium lights have to use a lot of juice,
and 90,000 people using RR use a lot of water.
Owners have a lot of expenses that people rarely think about.
Now Jake posted that the coming season tv rights will generate over 5 billion, which is great,
but that doesnt even cover the cap of 6.4 billion. So owners dont profit on that at all. That just helps
pay the players.
So the owners make most of their profit from home games, 90,000 seats on avg , and the concessions
they get too.
those of u who actually have gone to games recently could figure up and post what you think
they pull in per game
I just guessed at $50 per person , and x 90,000 = 4.5 mil per game,x 8 =36 mil per year
then add the sponsor money,= 50 mil per year?
That is a lot, but doesnt seem like much considering all the billions thrown around.
I think the teams worth, has to include the value of the stadium itself and practice facility and other things.
So this is why the owners really need to have fans at the games, because that is their main source
of income that can be profit.
This is also why they want another home game every year or two years,[with 17 games]
I hope mods will let this stay in fan zone for 24 hours.

This has evolved over time in the NFL. This era most of the owners were billionaires before buying a NFL team. Jerry is one of the exceptions this era.
Years ago wealthy men in the communities bought a team not necessarily for profit but for the enjoyment and competitive nature providing for their fellow citizens. There really want much money or profits in owning a franchise. The value developed over time as the franchise itself gained more value.
Most teams didn’t own their stadium. Rented out facilities and headquarters , basically a seasonal entity. TV rights changed the scope of NFL.
yeah I was way too low lol.
Well you dont have to have a cap, but it does even the playing field competitively.
The nfl owners agreed to share revenue, and other sports owners probably dont want to share, as the more profitable teams would then make less
per year.
I like nice things!!! Sorry, I'm so ashamed......Anyone who worships money is greedy.
n 2018, the 32 teams of the NFL generated revenue of 14.48 billion U.S. dollars.Considering that the cap is calculated as a percentage of revenue (I believe it is 47% right now but might be 47.5% next seasons) you can know exactly how much revenue the NFL made last season. Running the rough math on that you get a number the net NFL revenue was 13.495 billion dollars. Now you have to subtract from that the salary cap and front office/coaches salaries and the like, but generally owners make about 100-200 million per year depending on the team.
The owners could discipline themselves. I can’t imagine the NFLPA agreeing to placing a limit by position.Owners need to put he player back in their place. I like Jerry's idea that salaries need to be capped at a percentage of the salary cap. No ONE Player should be able to take such a large amount. I would think the players union would favor that as the majority are NOT QB's.

They’re still there just not always as utilized and governed without getting into subjects we’re not allowed to discuss.Uhh where are these mechanisms...they have been completely wiped out in the last 40 years.

Even that good hearted guy you were talking about is corruptiable if making money is the foundation of his belief system

We also must remember this isn’t just a game. It’s an entertainment business.
The QB while by most accounts the most popular position is also usually the most popular player driving ticket sales, TV revenue, merchandise and jersey sales along with Fantasy fans.
NFL QB’s are the driving force of interest for the league. It’s the one position most fans can name on other teams. They are the leading star of the show.
Is this the same Jerry who recently spent $250 million on a yacht? Owners make that kind of money because of the players.
No one is forcing them to pay QBs over $30 million/year. They can stop doing it any time they choose. They'll just lose players to other owners who are willing to do it.
Once you open up that Pandora’s box where does it stop. And like you said. The players would never agree.Jerry's idea was to limit how much any one player can make. Yah, the players probably would never agree. But if they had any brains they would realize that by limiting what the QB makes, there is more money left over for the rest of them.
Each team gets 250 million from the TV contract.I hope mods will let this stay in fan zone for 24 hours.

No one but the competition and market is forcing owners to pay that much to a QB. The Rookie QB contracts offers a nice alternative for the owners. And aging veterans. Look how cheap we signed Dalton. A starter for what a decade? So , there are choices.
