What they likely have though is more cash on hand to pay these bonuses. The Browns are uber-rich to be sure but they don't have access to the same level of cash as some of the independently wealthy owners have. Their assets are tied up with the team. Many of these other owners also make more money from local media, concession and ticket sales (60% stays with team), stadium naming rights, local corporate sponsorships, etc. All of which adds to the cash on hand pot
