I think even getting to the reported 175 is going to be a struggle. I'm not sure how a lot of teams are going to work around this, without flooding the market with free agents.
Fwiw, I read somewhere where ticket sales and concenssion only make up about 15% of revenue. So I'm assuming most teams are still going to be enjoying a healthy profit. I don't think anyone is working in the red.
I guess we'll have to see how it all shakes out. But regardless, the Bengals are shaping up to be in a better spot than most, with or without the decrease.
Of course, the elephant in the room that the NFL will not talk about is loss of tv revenue and ratings continue to plummet amongst political protests.
