I have not been able to find what the revenue share was for 2020 or 2021.  It seems it is only really known based on the Packers since they are a public team and have to report revenue.   Granted there is also several million more spent on front office, overhead etc.     

So I wonder if the Bengals are cash poor?  I don't know and we may never know because the Bengals are not a public holding.

This is something I have wondered. Every other owner has an external revenue stream, but as far as we know, the Brown family does not. I would imagine most net worth estimates that say Mike Brown is a billionaire are based on including team value. I would hope the Brown family would take revenue sharing money and at least diversify their investments, but then again, maybe Mike is old school and stuffs money in his couch and mattress.
