All that talk about the NFL being on the decline seems unsubstantiated when looking at how much money the league makes each year. Revenue is up more than ever and has increased in all but one year since 2011.
On Friday, it was reported that the league shared $8.78 billion in national revenue with all 32 teams, according to Darren Rovell of The Action Network. The Rams and the 31 other teams will each get $274.3 million for the past year’s revenue, per to the Packers’ public financial figures.
Revenue is up 33 percent since 2013 when each team earned $187.7 million. Last year, the split was $255.9 million each.
With revenue increasing year after year and the salary cap growing with each passing season, it’s easy to see why players are getting paid more than ever before. Granted, their contracts don’t match those of players in the NBA and MLB, but NFL stars are still getting paid handsomely.
