Revenue information made public last month by the Packers (a public company) reveals by extrapolation that the NFL made more than $16 billion in 2018 - this following $13.68 billion in 2017. The move from 2017 to 2018 is more than 15% if these numbers are correct. Per team distribution for FY 2018 was more than 7% higher than 2017, which, itself, was a nearly 5% jump from 2016.
While NFL revenue has been growing for years, the curve has steepened a bit since 2014 with the NFL seemingly on its way to meet the league's $25 billion target in 2027. With new revenue streams (literally) from digital and streaming rights and the major television packages all coming up for renewal in the next three and four years, this growth trend seems entirely reasonable barring some major economic turn. And of course, as NFL revenue grows, the salary cap grows. Contracts that seem excessive will age into far more reasonable deals.

The league's national revenues jumped $18.4 million in the fiscal year that ended in March. The total more than covers each team's player expenses. Plus, the firing of men's basketball coach Dennis Felton could be a costly one for Cleveland State.
