BTW, the national revenue ($432 mil) accounts for around 60% of their total revenue, according to the article. 432/x = 6/10 means x is $720 million in revenue. Per year.
Our adjusted cap is $290. 720-290 is $430 mil.
Look, I know we are doing improvements to the stafium. Amd we have operating expenses. And Mikey has to pay taxes (I think). And outgoing cash exceeds the cap numbers.
But $430 million is a TON of cushion. A TON.
The idea that he cannot afford to restructure Burrow (+$19 mil to cap), structured Tee & Chase to maximize space (+$11 mil to cap), sign Trey with guarantees beyond Y1 with a raise(but max cap space with a longer term), and brought in a better quality FA class with the cap savings (OF, DT, S) is just ludicrous. Absurd.
He's just a greedy old dude who cares more about hosrding wealth than winning..
Exactly. So many posts in this thread that know nothing about business ownership, expenses, and tax write offs.
There is a reason why multi Billionaires are clamoring to buy sports teams. And it’s not just the increasing equity. You’re guaranteed hundreds of millions of dolllars a year in rev sharing alone. It’s literally money for existing. Name another business that has that?
Even if the Bengals released their financials and it showed a loss. It wouldn’t mean anything other than that the Brown family is really good at avoiding taxes.
