Every year you make little due to a lot of signing bonuses, you're getting it back in a different year, the salary cap makes sure of that.
For the 2010 and 2011 seasons, the Panthers' owner had $112m in profit after everything was paid for. The cap increases because the NFL's whole profit increases due to the 50/50 split, and the cap has raised $35m from 2011 to 2015. The owners are doing fine.
I read an article last year that said each owner will make an additional $30 million going forward simply because of the new television contract. To think that an owner of a billion dollar NFL franchise makes less than the players is ludicrous... that is just not how the world works.
