The Hunts pissed away huge portions of their fortune. They still make oodles off the Chiefs, and every NFL team makes money (unlike MLB or the NBA) due to the TV deal, but small market owners are always more judicious with their spending.

I know that owners in the big cities make considerably more than owners in small cities. I guess my point was that I have never thought that small market teams had to walk away from guys like small market teams in MLB do. Seems that it is much more of an even playing field when it comes to the FA market, re-signing your own players, etc. You don't see things like CC Sabathia, Texiara, Johan Santana in the NFL where they come up with a smaller team who doesn't have any kind of chance and basically doesn't even attempt to re-sign them.
