Yep! Plus if these players keep thinking its ok to protest, not show up etc....

 

How will they get paid when the seats are half empty?

The same way that they get paid now, massive TV deals.

Good for him.  Dude seems like a diva but can’t deny he’s the most electrifying player in the league.  He’s probably already earned that money from the jerseys he’s sold and eyeballs he’s drawn to the TV.

Each NFL team took in $255M in national revenues last year. That is merchandise, licensing and TV. The cap last year was $168M. Networks will always fight over live sports.

I've never been able to figure out why people are concerned with what OTHER people make in ANY business.  If you don't want to feel you're contributing to OBJ's paycheck, don't go the games. Don't watch on TV. And don't pay your DirecTV bill.  The NFL has a salary cap. Whatever they pay OBJ is just money that they can't pay another player.  If anyone is upset it should be the other players in his Locker Room.

So, the Giants can afford this?

I’m sorry, but no way he’s worth that much.  He’s maybe the 3rd best receiver in the game.  

 

This scares me as to where contracts are going. 

 

Julio will break 20 mil easily next time.

This is true, although owners do not like seeing stadiums that are only one-third full.

The owners make so much money but are cheap when it comes to their Super Bowl spectacle where they have the halftime acts pay them for the “privilege” of performing.  They also ask for local volunteers to put up and take down the stage.

This thread is why this forum desperately needs a separate "Around the NFL" section.

 

So that crap like this can get funneled away from Bills topics.

Yeah, they certainly do some tacky things. I believe that those volunteers aren’t even allowed to stay through the game.

Hey, you can’t blame the owners for being good at making money.
