First off, I based that figure on the current CBA and TV contracts.
$11 Billion x .52/32, for a total of $180 million and change for each team. That number does not include stadium revenue, ticket revenue nor team memorabilia, which is the only income not shared between all 32 teams.
Secondly, I have no idea what their Net Profit would be because I don't have access to their entire revenue stream nor expenses. I'd wager to guess they have plenty left over after paying their employees and insurance.
Lastly, I do not believe, at this point in time, that the players should have a higher percentage of Gross Revenues, even though those gross revenues are not shared with anyone outside of the NFL. I think a 51/49 split, Owners to Players or 50/50 would certainly be agreeable.
52/48, when the financials are closed to everyone outside of each organization, is bunk, IMNSHO.
