That means not counting jerseys, tickets, concessions, sponsors, whatever... every NFL team STARTED with $309.2m in their pockets from the get-go. The salary cap in 2020 was $198.2m. So even before any other sources of money coming in, Mike Brown could spend the full salary cap and still have $111m for non-player operating costs and his pockets.
Never let NFL owners cry poor.
I'd love to see a list of operating costs. My guess is they are astounding when you figure in taxes, insurance for players and properties, travel, personnel, facilities, non-player salaries, advertising. Probably not 111m, but I would love to know what they are. I'm sure there are many expenses we don't even know about.
