The parts due this year are getting paid out, so they're the only part that isn't escrowed since you're not going to escrow something like a $40m signing bonus just to then un-escrow it 6 days later to pay it out or immediately un-escrow a roster bonus that is normally paid out March or June 1st.

You do understand the NFL gave up it's tax exempt status in 2015, right?

So the big $549 million dollar revenue sharing check you think covered everything, they actually only got about half of after taxes. 

You do realize you pay taxes on income.... right?  

Someone trying to tell you that the Revenue Sharing check covers all the expenses is either trolling or refuses to admit that they simply don't know enough about the topic at hand to anything resembling an educated opinion on it 

FTR, after getting a better understanding of the numbers, i have started to hedge a bit. Not because i don't think they can do it but because it's such a large leap to go from doing what they've been doing, to having to spend out so much more than they're used to. It seems like a large gap to get to where they need to be, so basically, this looks like it could be another frustrating off season.
